Job Description

All Souls Today

In the heart of Londons West End All Souls is an evangelical Anglican church with a large and diverse congregation. We seek to use our rich inheritance our exciting location and our diverse membership to cooperate with God in the extension of His Kingdom.


All Souls welcomes a total of over 2000 people to its morning and evening services each Sunday with a core membership of around 1500. This membership is made up of around 60 nationalities and whilst a significant group would be in their 20s and 30s we have a wide spread across all age ranges including active student children youth and families work.


Part of the nature of being a church in the centre of a fast-moving capital city is the constant turnover of the congregation. Within a three year period perhaps as many as 70% of the congregation will have moved on. We see this as a great opportunity as people go from All Souls to many parts of the world. However it also presents challenges in both building teams of people equipped to serve the church body and caring well for people pastorally.
