At All Souls, we elevate and celebrate both women and men as equally gifted and called into leadership by God in the church. We are an elder-led church (4 women and men). We also have a number of deacons who are our front-line leaders for serving our community’s life together. Our staff functions as a collaborative, relational, and sacrificial team which seeks to serve the church, one other, and their families.
