All Souls works together to feed the hungry, restore relationships, celebrate the arts, and above all to worship Jesus in spirit and in truth, preaching the cross of Christ in West Seattle and beyond.

Why West Seattle? Because our neighborhood is hungry to be whole. All, here, is not as it was meant to be.

Our mission is born out of the reality that the people of West Seattle, like those everywhere else, need to experience transformative healing, meaning, and hope through Jesus. West Seattle doesn’t need more religion; it needs the gospel. It doesn’t need more performance-based approval; it needs more grace-driven embrace. Which means it needs more churches for our friends, for our neighbors.

West Seattle doesn’t need more religion, it needs the gospel. It doesn’t need more performance-based approval, it needs more grace-driven embrace. Which means it needs more churches we can bring our friends and neighbors to.

As a community of Christ's followers, we’re seeking to live out the reality of this gospel in the places we live, work, and play. And over time we expect to see three things happen:

To follow Jesus is to be placed in the middle of something much bigger than our own stories and ideas; to be part of the story of the ages, the one all others point to: the story of God come to earth to claim victory over death and restore true, lasting life.

It’s the story of Jesus and his longed-for return, when all will be made right and eternally new. It’s the hope that gives our stories their significance.

So, as part of this story, we gather to worship and we scatter to serve. We do this not to ‘improve’ our church or even our neighborhoods, but to work for the welfare of the city we call home.

Because Jesus hasn’t come to improve us, and he hasn’t come to improve Seattle. He came to make us new. To make us whole.
