All Saints' Church is a Parish church of the Scottish Episcopal Church located in the Jordanhill area of Glasgow, Scotland.
History All Saints' traces its beginnings to 1853, when Jane Charlotte Smith founded a school for miners and other labourers who lived in the Jordanhill area. Jordanhill Mansion, Jane's own home, was initially used for these gatherings, and then they were moved to a barn where Episcopalian services were held as well. In 1861, Jane founded a chapel school for children, while church services continued to be held by visiting priests. By 1892, a curate was appointed to minister in Jordanhill."All Saints Episcopal Church, Jordanhill", wsmclean. Retrieved on 4 August 2020.
