A Community of Communities
No matter your age, your sex or gender identity, your race or ethnicity, your theology or lack thereof, your abilities, your financial circumstances, your nationality or immigration status, you are welcome here.
All Souls Church is a community of communities. As we strive towards Beloved Community, we can also find comfort in the presence of others who can especially relate to and share our experiences.
You are welcome to get involved with groups at the church as you are exploring if membership is right for you.
