Sunday

Every Sunday since 1995, whether rain or shine, S.O.U.L. Church has gathered for praise and worship. With only three salaried employees, some contract workers, and an incredible army of volunteers, S.O.U.L. Church loves our homeless community through prayer, food, clothes, hygiene packs, free haircuts, laundry service and showers. We average over one thousand monthly guests, including men, women, and veterans of all ages, races, ethnicities, and beliefs. 

Our mission is simple: to reach people in need regardless of their circumstances. We are committed to helping the hurt - one SOUL at a time. All creation is worth the time it takes to cultivate, grow, and harvest. We believe you can change a person's heart and thinking through one-on-one mentoring, discipleship, and relationships. Our resolve is to feed the mind, body, and spirit of the community that we serve. We are sustained by our committed and compassionate volunteers and by the generous contributions of donors.
