You've been looking
for a church like this.
Join a progressive religious community in the heart of Washington DC.
“Giving, receiving as love shows us how.” The familiar hymn makes the case. The Spirit of Life calls us to wake, to feel its power in our individual lives, and to imagine all that’s possible when we come together as we do in this church called All Souls.
Generosity is less obligation than opportunity, because giving and receiving are both parts of a spiritual journey that makes love real in our lives.
Make your pledge to All Souls for the 2023-24 fiscal year (July 1, 2023 – June 30, 2024), today!
Welcome!
All Souls is a progressive religious community in the heart of DC,
at the intersection of Mt. Pleasant, Adams Morgan, and Columbia Heights.
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!

June 11, 2023 | 10:30 am | Hybrid
Most of us are “fixers.” Problem solvers. Tuned to the shortcomings and the harm being done in the world. Progressives focus on what is wrong. What author Ross Gay calls our “delight muscle” can be underdeveloped. Together we will exercise it.
Join us for this hybrid, ASL interpreted worship service with music from the Jubilee Singers and guest director David Griffiths. Stay after service for the annual church picnic on the playground (or in Pierce Hall if it rains) or on the same Zoom link for social hour.

What To Expect Sunday Mornings
10:30 am. Worship with us on Zoom (through the link below) or in person (please bring your mask).
Religious Education for Children and Youth is in-person during the service. More information on our Children and Youth Religious Education webpage.
11:45 am (or shortly after worship ends):
- In-Person Fellowship and Coffee Hour. Join us in Pierce Hall after worship ends to catch up in person with other members of the congregation.
- Virtual Coffee Hour. Stay on the Zoom call and join us for a coffee hour, a chance to catch up, talk about the service, discuss whatever comes to mind. New to All Souls? Welcome! Please use a red mug or wear a red shirt so we can greet you!
