About Core Connections
The Core Connections Ministry offers a variety of opportunities for All Souls congregants (including brand new folks, longtime members, and everyone in between) to be honest and real with each other.
Participating in the Core Connections Ministry is a great way to help All Souls achieve its goal to
“Become a multi-cultural, multi-racial, multi-generational spiritual community that is grounded in authentic relationships, trust, and belonging.”

Structure and Leadership
Conceived of in January 2023, Core Connections has significant initial and ongoing support from Minister of Social Justice Rob Keithan, the 8th Principle Advisory Team, and the Committee on Right Relations.
Since Fall 2023, the Adult Spiritual Development Committee (ASD) has taken the lead in guiding the Core Connections Ministry.
Overall Goals
Transformative relationship-building. Creating a congregational culture where people are willing to be honest and real with each other, to lean into messiness and be uncomfortable. And to care for each other!
Spiritual grounding and identity development. Sharing individual stories and connecting to All Souls story/stories. Deepening spiritual connections with ourselves, our church, and our faith.
8th Principle and justice-centered leadership development to promote liberation both within and beyond the church.
Holistic, collaborative approach to encouraging connection and coherence between different ministries in the church through this.
