Connecting
Worship
People who worship at All Souls are from various walks of life. Some of us are committed Christians. Some of us are curious about Christianity and its claims. And others of us are skeptical. Wherever you are on the journey, we hope that you will feel welcome at All Souls. We want to be a church where you do not have to share our faith to be our friend; you do not have to believe to belong.
If you are not familiar with what happens at a worship service, that is okay. Here are some things you can expect at All Souls: you will be welcomed at the door, where inside we will have a table with coffee, tea, and some great food. There will be another table with information about our community groups, parties, and ways to get connected. We will provide everyone with a worship folder that will give all of us direction through the service. We will have music, prayers, reading from Scripture, and teaching; you can participate actively in our worship or just follow along and observe. After the service, we will eat lunch together, and of course, you are welcome to join us. We hope you will join us sometime.

Children's Ministry
Our mission here at All Souls is to glorify God through the building of loving relationships with children and guiding them into relationship with the living God. We seek to do this through teaching our children about Jesus as their Savior in an environment that teaches God's word as truth in a variety of fun, engaging and creative ways.
Our commitment to the children of All Souls goes beyond "child care". We take seriously the responsibility for the children God has entrusted to us and our church family. We seek to provide an atmosphere where even our infants and toddlers are nurtured in Christ during their time with us.
We will strive to create an environment where children can become lovers of God's Word and worshipers of Him. We recognize that teaching must be appropriate to a child's social and cognitive development and will use a curriculum that is stimulating and easy to teach. This curriculum will be taught by a well-trained and equipped Children's Ministry volunteer staff.
It is important that your child is provided the cleanest and safest environment possible. We have a clear sick policy, which is intended to prevent children's rooms from becoming a breeding ground for illnesses. Each of our workers and volunteers has undergone an extensive background check. We also have a tight security procedure that is intended to provide safety for the children and peace of mind for the parents.
Nursery (Birth to age 2 - during all Sunday activities)
Nursery age children will be signed in and signed out by parents only. If you would like your child to be in the service during communion, you will need to come down and sign them out.
Children's Class - Kids Following Christ (Age 3 to age 7)
This class will be dismissed after the Passing of the Peace to a Children's Ministry volunteer.
