I sometimes find it to be very difficult to define our church. My first
instinct is to point to children’s programs, music, community groups, or the
teaching. While all are important in the life of All Souls, none are the
driving force behind our ministry.
What I would say is our driving force is our passion to see the
implications of God’s grace expressed in our community. As worshippers of Jesus
Christ, our calling is to embrace the gospel more fully down into the depths of
our soul and then to live in our neighborhood, workplace, and family as
ambassadors of that grace.
  The Gospel of Jesus Christ gives us the boldness to be who we are as artists and
accountants, teachers and therapists. Knowing we are created in His image, we
are then able to freely live and work as an expression of His beauty. Also, the
Gospel gives us the humility to serve. In the midst of the successes and
failures of life, we know that we are loved more than we ever dreamed. We are
humbled by the penetrating immensity of God’s mercy and grace. It is with an
understanding of this mercy that we then desire to live as conduits of mercy
and grace to our city.
So, who are we? We are a community of faith, bound together by our love for and
commitment to Jesus Christ. For those of you who do not yet share these same
convictions, we welcome you. We invite you to experience our community of faith
and assure you that you will be accepted in our midst. If you are persuaded by
what you see, you may want to join us on this journey to be a source of grace
to our city. But even if you don’t, you will always be a friend.
Much Love,
Shayne Wheeler
Pastor

If you are interested in knowing more, please contact Lori at lori@allsoulsfellowship.org.
