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.  Using the OCC Method of listening, discerning, reporting and connecting, Creative Connections has incubated several local organizations including Young & Healthy, Day One, and CORAL.

Office for Creative Connections also incubated New Vision Partners, a non-profit organization envisioned by Rector Ed Bacon and created by All Saints Church.

OCC's current focus is City Conversations, a diverse group of community leaders addressing structural racism, All Saints / Muir High School Mentoring project, and Transformational Journeys Ministry.
