If you would like to share your musical gifts with All Souls, please contact our Director of Music, Liz Ellsmore at lizmusic@allsoulsindy.org
Youth & Child Musicians
We particularly enjoy having children share in the music ministry at All Souls.
If your child or youth is interested in being part of music on a Sunday morning, or for other All Souls events, please contact our Director of Music, Liz Ellsmore at lizmusic@allsoulsindy.org
Concert Goers
At All Souls we pride ourselves on offering concerts of different musical genres throughout the year. Our concerts are free to the public, and parking is plentiful and free! We will let you know when we will have concerts coming up.

Faith Formation
Faith formation at All Souls is an inclusive and dynamic process that encourages spiritual growth, ethical reflection, and a deeper understanding of values. Faith Formation happens throughout the congregation. For both children and adults, UU faith formation programs and activities emphasize exploration rather than dogma, allowing individuals to develop their own spiritual path.
For more information, please contact us at faithformation@allsoulsindy.org
Children & Youth
Religious Education (RE) Classes
These classes combine storytelling, activities, and discussions to explore moral values, social justice, and world religions. Nursery care is available every week from 10:15-11:45am for infants 6 months to children age 3.
Chalice Lighting & Rituals
Children often participate in ceremonies like our Sunday morning chalice lighting, which reminds us of our promises of love, service, and community. Throughout the year children and families participate in multi-generational services, especially Flower Communion, Water Communion and Baby or child dedications.

Service to others is integrated into our regular programming. This year we are participating in activities organized through the Seeds of Caring program and in support of our friends in the East Coast Migrant Head Start Project.
