History

The congregation of All Saints was established in 1991.[1] In October 1992, All Saints was accepted as an Orthodox mission by the Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America.[1] Fr. Nicholas Sorensen was assigned as the first pastor of the mission, retiring in 2020.[1] The congregation, later established as a parish, met in rented locations until the church purchased land on Buck Jones Road in Raleigh, completing construction on a church building in 1994.[1][2] A new, larger church with domes was constructed in November 2010.[1][3]

The congregation is under the Diocese of Miami and the Southeast.[4] Although a Greek Orthodox congregation, the liturgy is said in English, not in Greek.[1]

In January 2016, All Saints established a mission, St. Raphael Orthodox Mission Church, in Fuquay-Varina.[1][5]
