All Souls Episcopal Church, Washington, DC: Leadership


Home > Leadership
Leadership at All Souls Leadership at All Souls takes many forms. Of our staff, three are full time and the others are part time to varying degrees. The majority of our ministry is led and staffed by volunteers—some elected to Vestry (the board that leads the parish) and many others who serve with committees, guilds, task forces, and informal groups that make up the life and witness of All Souls.
