Meet Our New Pastor
Come As You Are: Meet Pastor Ian.
A simple idea lies at the heart of The Rev. Ian J. Hamilton’s ministry: everyone deserves to feel they are seen, heard, valued, and welcome.
That belief is at the center of the ministry Ian Hamilton brings to All Saints Episcopal Church of the North Shore as our new half-time Pastor. (He also serves St. Paul Lutheran Church in Gloucester as part of a shared half-time ministry.)
Pastor Ian understands that coming to church is not always easy. For someone who has never been part of a church community, or who has been away for many years, simply walking through the door can take courage.
Questions naturally follow: Will I fit in? Will my questions be welcome? Do I need to know what to say or do? What if I’m not even sure what I believe?
At All Saints, Ian wants the answer to be clear: you do not have to have it all figured out before you come through the door.
You can come with a strong faith or an uncertain one. You can come with questions, doubts, hopes, worries, or simply a desire to find connection and community.
There is room to wonder, to explore, to listen, and to discover what faith might mean in your own life, without pressure to have all the answers.
Above all, Pastor Ian hopes people will find at All Saints something deeper than a place to attend on Sunday.
He hopes they will discover people who know their names, notice when they are there, listen to their stories, and walk beside them.
In time, perhaps what begins as a first tentative step through the door can become something more: the discovery of a community that feels like home.
Come and meet Pastor Ian. Bring your questions. Bring your hopes. Bring yourself.
