All Souls Fellowship


Have I told you about our church in Decatur? We tried only one church in Decatur and that was even before we moved in...All Souls Fellowship, a community of faith only about 3 years old and a church plant of Intown Community Church. Josh and I were immediately impressed with the depth of Scripture covered during the sermon and the reality of the Gospel we met that Sunday morning, so we decided to look no further. Let's face it-- in the Bible belt you could visit a different church every day of the week, or you can drive an hour to the flashiest hip church, or you can watch your hologram pastor bring The Word...or perhaps you can join a relevant community of people within walking distance.

We've been so blessed by our time at All Souls. The church is certainly still working out some very human growing pains, but they are also doing some very divine work. Our small group that meets in the middle of the week has been our social and spiritual connection for the year we've been here. We've met some amazing people...from all over the country, all different theological backgrounds, all kinds of love to share. Our church truly helped keep us sane in the months following Hurrican Katrina.

We know that God planted us here for a particular time-- in the same way you may plant a seed in a pot and then move the flowering plant into the yard. I will be forever thankful for the friends we've made and the example set by the community of believers at All Souls Fellowship. I can't wait to see what God has in store next!
