You can read the position listing here.

Approximately 300 children and youth, pre-school through high school, participate in All Souls religious education programs.

The Sunday morning RE program offers classes designed to help children develop spiritual values, ethical sensitivity and an understanding of our Judeo-Christian heritage.

Our first through fifth grade class participates in five second-hour rotating creative workshops: music (where children receive Orff training), portrait art, drama and movement. Our children's choir, which meets after the Sunday morning program, offers children in the second grade and older an opportunity for first-class voice training.

Chapel services are led by Melaney Mashburn, with Sunday guests appearances by All Souls ministers. Chapel offers an opportunity to discuss current events, giving children an additional opportunity to process things that are happening in their world.
