Get Involved in the Community with the Office for Creative Connections at All Saints Church

The Office for Creative Connections (OCC) is a community outreach ministry, established in 1984 by the Vestry of All Saints Church as a gift to the City of Pasadena. Its role is to serve as a facilitator identifying needs, assets and opportunities, assessing barriers and bringing people together to work on creative solutions, thinking for the whole city.

All Saints believes community is very important – and the OCC lives into this value by bringing people together to a common table to provide opportunities to develop trusting relationships, to build on existing strengths, and to work together toward creative solutions. The work of the OCC is to hold up a common community vision and to inspire participants in collaborations to share resources, rather than duplicating efforts, in serving the wellbeing of others.

In the spirit of identifying local needs and resources and bring people together around issues of common concern to envision and enact new ways to creatively address intractable problems – the OCC is engaged in collaborative efforts to bring civilian oversight to the Pasadena Police Department, activities to support best practices in homeless service provision, and recently helped organize to move the City of Pasadena to raise the minimum wage for all low-wage workers in the City. Other social justice issues addressed by the work of the OCC include: education, gun violence prevention, and legal aid among many others.
