Our Story
We all have a story. Ours is not tidy. It's messy— like soil.
People at All Souls are from all walks of life and together, we’re learning to put down deep roots in relationship to Jesus that grow wide branches to welcome the wandering, reach for the hurting, and join with neighbors.
We long to see the Garden-City of God growing in the soil of Seattle— so all can bear fruit.
Beginnings
All Souls began in 2010, launched by a handful of families who had been gathering in a living room. Since then, we’ve seen a dynamic, multi-generational community take shape— here, in the West Seattle neighborhood. Being a peninsula, most of us bump into each other at the grocery store, soccer field, or coffee shop and live in community as Home Groups.
Over 80% of All Souls participates in a Home Group and it’s a great way to get to know people and be known especially around meals. Around our tables, we learn about each other’s lives, love genuinely, and explore opportunities to share the embrace of a welcoming God.
Communion & Community
Meals play a central role in the Bible— Jesus’s frequent table fellowship especially with folks on the margins, the Last Supper, and the final marriage feast of the Lamb in Revelation, to name a few. More than mere food, these represent an embodied setting for deep communion and love, where true welcome and friendship are forged. And that’s why our worship each Sunday culminates in a meal: the Lord’s Supper, or Communion. Communion also happens on Fridays at Dinner Church, a worship service at Westside Neighbors Shelter shared with our unhoused neighbors.
Leadership
All Souls is clergy-led, staff-implemented, and vestry-supported.
Vestry is our nominated, rotating leadership team.
