All Saints

ALL SAINTS is an uplifting film inspired by the remarkable true story of Michael Spurlock, portrayed by John Corbett. After leaving his corporate sales job to embrace a life of faith, Michael is faced with the daunting task of shutting down a small church with a dwindling membership. This quaint country church, known as All Saints, comes with a significant complication: he must sell the valuable land it occupies. As developers eagerly await their opportunity to capitalize on the property, the congregation grapples with the impending loss while Michael and his family begin to plan their future in a more established institution.

Just when it seems that all hope is lost, Michael discovers a new purpose as the church opens its doors to Karen refugees from Burma. These former farmers, guided by dreams of a fresh start in America, add a layer of complexity to Michael’s mission. Who would have thought that by working hand in hand with the Karen community, the church could transform its fertile land into a thriving farm, contributing not only to the church’s finances but also nourishing its newest members?

Faced with an ethical dilemma, Michael risks his family’s stability by defying the orders of his superiors. He finds himself at a crossroads, torn between fulfilling his assignment—to close the church and sell the property—and responding to a profound calling to empower the congregation of All Saints to take a leap of faith. As he listens to that still, small voice urging them to provide hope and support to their new community, he challenges everyone involved to embrace the unknown and fight for a common cause.

With its heartfelt narrative, ALL SAINTS beautifully illustrates the power of community, resilience, and the courageous choices one can make when faith intertwines with action.
