Join a progressive religious community in the heart of Washington, DC
Welcome!
All Souls is a progressive religious community in the heart of Washington, DC

We walk diverse paths to find meaning and purpose but are united by our belief in the worth and dignity of all, and the obligation to express our faith through acts of justice and compassion. Join us as we create a diverse, spirit-growing, justice-seeking beloved community that’s true to our name, All Souls!
Worship this Week
Question Box Sunday
Rev. Anastassia Zinke
August 10, 2025, 10:30 AM—A “Question Box” service is a worship where a minister responds to questions submitted by the congregation. These questions can cover a wide range of topics from Unitarian Universalism, personal beliefs, ethical dilemmas, and even general life questions. This service is a tradition in many UU congregations, including All Souls (though it’s been a few years). Do you have a question that you’d like to have Rev. Anastassia answer?
The deadline is Noon on Saturday, August 9.
ASL interpretation is available in-person and online.
Attend Online
Our online congregation meets on Zoom with the ‘doors’ opening fifteen minutes prior to the service.
Join via the Zoom app (link below), or via phone: 301.715.8592 meeting ID: 918 758 14433

Curious about Facilitating a Covenant Group?
Covenant groups are a primary way that we experience deeply connected community within All Souls. Those facilitating create the space for trust, curiosity, and discovery by welcoming participants, guiding the flow of the session, and holding space for personal reflection. Support includes trainings and monthly thematic packets. Learn more about becoming a facilitator this fall.

8th Principle
We, the members of All Souls Church Unitarian, covenant to affirm and promote journeying toward spiritual wholeness by working to build a diverse multicultural Beloved Community by our actions that accountably dismantle racism and other forms of oppressions in ourselves and our institutions.
Listen to All Souls’ Revere bell toll for 8 minutes and 46 seconds.
Find Us
We’re at the heart of DC, at the intersection of Mt. Pleasant, Adams Morgan, and Columbia Heights. A ramp is available from the main entrance (16th St.). You can also enter from the side entrance on Harvard St.
PARKING
