Children, Youth, and Families

Children are central to our life at All Souls Parish.  From the moment you walk in on Sunday mornings and find coloring sheets and crayons in each of the pews you know to expect the joy of children.  We live out the instruction, “Let the little children come to me and do not stop them…” Matthew 19:14

Our commitment to children is expressed through our year-round Sunday School program, the weekly children’s homily during the 10am service and the many special ways we include children in our worship and the festivities and holy days of the church year.

Our youth ministry’s mission to older children and teenagers (grades 6-12) is to provide a safe, supportive and empowering environment in which they can explore their relationship with God through Christian community.  Two Youth Groups, one for Junior High age kids and one for High Schoolers, meet weekly throughout the academic year.

Family Ministry is a growing ministry at All Souls.  A newly formed Spiritual Parenting Group meets the second Sunday of every month from Noon to 1pm in the Common Room (childcare provided).  A relaxed format allows us time to discuss issues relevant to raising our kids as Christians.  We also support our families with new babies by bringing meals to them.
