We are Allsouls Universalist Church. We are a group of people who, in one way or another, were told that we do not belong in our church communities. Some of us were pushed away because we were LGBTQ+, we had doubts, or we rejected the fundamentalism that is being pushed from the main stream churches. No matter the reason, we are a place of refuge. You are welcome here.
