Kids + Family Ministry

 

Simply put, we love kids. We believe that little ones aren’t just the future of the church, they ARE the church and they have much to teach us about the wonder and joy of God’s Great Love. Click HERE to read the Children and Family Ministry’s mission and vision!

At All Souls, we believe that to say yes to the Holy Spirit of God is, right now, to stand in solidarity with our Black siblings, to lament our personal and communal participation in systemic racism and white supremacy, and to commit to meaningful and tangible action.

If you have any questions about Children & Family Ministry, please contact Rachel Zylstra.

Sunday Afternoons

INFAnt & CAREGIVERS

If you have an infant or toddler who needs a place for care during the service, there is a nursery upstairs for children ages birth to 3 years old.

 

Kids worship gatherings!

We are excited for kids to connect with each other! These Sunday gatherings will give a space for all ages to belong, wonder, and play. Kids will begin in the worship service with their caregivers, and they will be dismissed at the children's blessing. Near the end of the service, the kids will come back to join the whole family for communion.

If you have questions, please contact Rachel Zylstra.
