Who is All Souls Episcopal Church?
We are a loving, vibrant Episcopal church in Mechanicsville, VA - just north of Richmond.
At All Souls, everyone is welcome!
We are also a mission church who rents our worship space
and has a church house where we gather and work.
We are a community who:
Welcomes newcomers
Enjoys spending time together - playing, laughing and learning
Works to help those who are struggling in this life
We believe in a loving, liberating, and life-giving God. We believe in following the teachings of Jesus Christ, whose life, death, and resurrection saved the world. We work to see the image of God in all people and to live The Way of Love, as taught by the life Jesus lived.
If you are looking for a place to explore your relationship with God - to be in community with others who are trying to do the same, you may enjoy the community of All Souls Episcopal. We worship in the Anglican Tradition, celebrating diversity, inclusiveness, and in the Spirit of fellowship that motivates us to live fully into the people God has uniquely created us to be.

Meet Our Vicar
Our priest at All Souls Episcopal Church is
The Very Rev. Katherine Dougherty. Katherine was born and raised in Virginia and in the Episcopal Church. Prior to being ordained, she taught in both public and private schools. Katherine received her M.Div from The School of Theology at The University of the South, Sewanee and was ordained in 2017.
Katherine is a collaborative leader, who enjoys working with others to imagine and create ways of spreading God's love for everyone. Her vision for ministry is to encourage and empower folks to actively engage with the God who created them and loves them dearly and to share that love with others. Katherine believes deeply that God loves us all dearly, and we are ALL made in the image of God. She is thankful to serve in a loving and welcoming faith community.
In her off hours, Katherine enjoys being outside - in the mountains, on the water or spending time with family and friends. She loves to laugh and play. She is also thankful to be called by God and the people of All Souls Episcopal Church to walk this journey we call faith. Email her at: revkdougherty@gmail.com
