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
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!

It’s time to pledge to support the All Souls Annual Fund for church year 2025-26

We are asking everyone to thoughtfully consider what a meaningful contribution to support All Souls’ efforts in the coming year looks like for you.

LATEST NEWS

2025-26 Generosity Campaign Update: Roars Out of the Gate

Celebration Sunday kicked off our 2025-26 annual pledge drive with a bang last week as 119 people made their pledges, including 31 first-time pledgers and 13 recommitted pledges (who have pledged for the first time after an absence of at least a year). Early returns are very encouraging, with an average pledge increase of more than 17%!

Please consider your commitment to the work of All Souls, and invest as generously as you can to help us continue to provide a loving and resilient community in troubled times.

Sprucing Up In Spring

Your Building Committee is working hard to beautify the courtyard space and the steeple netting. The architect will submit the final design for the courtyard in March, and there will be some very noticeable activity happening around the netting on the 16th Street side of the church. Starting March 31-April 5, there will be some spring sprucing of the netting and liner. Unfortunately, the netting cannot be removed until the steeple is repaired, but crews will be on-site to replace the unsightly black liner with a beige-colored liner to better blend with the columns of the church.

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.

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
All Souls does NOT have a parking lot. During the week, street parking is extremely limited. The best option is to park is the paid DC USA Parking Garage on Irving St NW beneath the Target ($12 for the day). 

On Sundays, there is more street parking available. Refer to the signs along the streets for restrictions.

We are also very close to the Yellow and Green metro lines at the Columbia Heights Metro station.
