All Saints Church in Chevy Chase, Maryland has a rich history dating back to the early 1900s. Originally founded in 1909 as a mission of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington, it was later established as an independent parish in 1927. Over the years, the church has undergone several renovations to keep up with the changing needs of its community.
One major renovation took place in the 1960s, when the church expanded its facilities to include a new sanctuary, narthex, and education wing. Another renovation occurred in the 1980s, when the church added a new chapel and a bell tower. In more recent years, the church has undergone further renovations to modernize its facilities, including the addition of a new sound system and a state-of-the-art kitchen.
Today, All Saints Church is a thriving community of believers who come together to worship, serve, and grow in their faith. With a diverse congregation and a wide range of programming, the church offers something for everyone, from young children to seniors. Whether you are looking for a place to worship, to connect with others, or to serve your community, All Saints Church is a welcoming and inclusive place for all.
All Saints, Chevy Chase, church roof was built in 1901 with Virginia Buckingham slate. They put on additions in the 1940's and 1950's with Pennsylvania Black slate, and then another addition in the 1990's with Spanish Black slate.
Unfortunately, Pennsylvania Black slate doesn't wear as well as Virginia Buckingham and that material difference was becoming obvious; the newer roofs were leaking and shedding slates. Since the original roofs - almost a century old - were still in excellent condition, the additions would be repaired with Virginia Buckingham.
To this end, we removed all of the Pennsylvania Black slate from the additions and replaced them with Virginia Buckingham. We also replaced all the copper flashings and gutters with 20 ounce copper.
