All Souls Religious Education Program

All Souls' religious education program is part of the church's mission to build a diverse, spirit-growing, justice-seeking community. Through meaningful lesson themes, arts, hands-on and physical activities, and open conversation, participants of every age explore big questions in a welcoming Unitarian Universalist setting. Family-friendly events help everyone deepen their connections with the wider All Souls family.

Our foundation

We believe every person has inherent worth and dignity and is endowed with "powers of the soul": the power to feel, connect, reason, imagine, create, love, listen, speak, make meaning, enjoy life's gifts, and work to transform injustice. Our programming supports a lifelong journey of deepening our connection with the sacred, growing our souls, and building a multigenerational, multicultural, and multiracial Beloved Community.
