Who We Are
All Souls' is a lively, friendly community that welcomes everyone to join in ministry. After each service, we greet newcomers and have a fun coffee hour to meet new friends and deepen our connections. We have many events each year with food, drinks, and laughter. Our traditions include celebrating important days with beautiful services and other special events that make our church life joyful. Come join us and be part of our story.
What We Believe
We believe Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior of the world. We believe He, as well as God the Father and God the Holy Spirit, are revealed in Scripture. We believe that Scripture is best interpreted through a dynamic combining of tradition and reason. We believe what we say in the Nicene Creed and what we pray in The Book of Common Prayer. And we believe that a faithful understanding of God is always growing, always evolving, always seeking deeper truth. We prioritize inclusivity and advocate for social justice. While embracing diverse beliefs, we remain united in core teachings. Our leadership includes bishops, priests, and deacons who help us build community, worship together, and serve others in line with our Christian faith and Anglican tradition.
How We Serve
We show our faith through acts of kindness, generosity, and compassion, reflecting God's grace. Following Jesus's teachings, we support our community in many ways, including helping the homeless, hungry, military, women in safe houses, and needy school children on both sides of the border.
How We Worship
Our Sunday worship focuses on celebrating Holy Eucharist, using the 1979 Book of Common Prayer that follows traditions Christians have practiced for almost 2,000 years. During the service, we read from the Bible, hear a sermon, and pray. This leads us to Holy Communion, where we share bread and wine, believing they are the real presence of Jesus Christ among us.
Children & Youth
Children of all ages are welcome at our services. Our "Prayground" at the front of Church has puzzles, coloring books and other activities to keep little ones busy during worship under the watchful eye of Ms Alex, our Children, Youth and Family Minister. Our children's chapel, at 10:15, has special lessons just for kids every Sunday during sermons, before children rejoin their families for communion.
During the school year, our Youth Group (grade 6 and up) meets every Sunday after the 10:15 services for food, fellowship and fun.
We also offer nursery care for children up to age 6 every Sunday from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm, staffed by qualified professionals, located near the flagpole entrance of our Community Building.
Our Worship Space
Built in 1969, our church building showcases mid-century modern architecture. Its unique hexagonal shape reflects the layout of its corner lot, with a simple cross at its center where all six points meet. Architect Robert Mosher-- who also designed the Coronado Bridge-- considered this design his favorite among all his creations.
