All Saints' Episcopal Church, Episcopal church in Lakeland, United States.
All Saints' Episcopal Church is an Episcopal church at Lemon Street and Massachusetts Avenue in downtown Lakeland, Florida. Its nave, completed in 1924, is the oldest continuing church downtown and was recognized as part of Historic Lakeland in 1992. A four-story building dedicated in 2012 holds classrooms, music rehearsal rooms and a parish fellowship hall.
The church was founded in 1884 in the former community of Acton and relocated to downtown Lakeland in 1892. The move followed a severe freeze that dispersed the original settlement and prompted the congregation to establish itself in a growing area.
The parish has founded two daughter congregations in Lakeland: St. David's, built in 1953, and Christ the King, started in 1984. A stained glass window in the northeast corner of the nave commemorates Rev. John H. Weddell, who arranged the 1892 move of the church from Acton.
The nave, in use since 1924, sits at the corner of Lemon Street and Massachusetts Avenue in downtown Lakeland, and the 2012 four-story building holds classrooms, music rehearsal rooms and the parish fellowship hall.
