Ministry hours: Sunday School 9:15 AM
Church service 10:30 AM
Denomination: Episcopalian
Founded: September 1912 as part of Trinity Episcopal in Collingdale.
A brief history: All Saints started as sub-entity of Trinity Episcopal in its mission to the people of Darby. They didn't have a building to meet in, so they sublet Trinity's building in Collingdale until they acquired land in Darby around 1913. Building commenced rapidly and the congregation moved into the building on Summit and Market streets in Darby about a year later. Research is still ongoing for this church, but it had a very active role in Darby with its outreach programs. Deterioration of the roof which would have cost the church thousands of dollars was the determining factor behind moving back to Trinity Episcopal in November 2010. By that time Trinity had closed its doors forever and was on the auction block to be sold. It was definitely a "win" for them and for the community to keep this church intact.
Update: Church is now closed....December 2013....Building is endangered historical landmark and on auction block to be sold
Update Two....Pilgrim Seventh Day Adventist Church now owns this building. Services started January 2, 2016
