Becoming a Member
Are you ready to deepen your connection to this community and to your spiritual development?
All Souls is committed to the spiritual growth of our diverse, multicultural community and the support of our congregation and members within it. Joining as a member signifies you are equally committed to the same, support the mission, values, and goals of the church, and seek to support the congregation through your time, talents, and stewardship.
Membership is not a requirement to attend church, but a pathway on the spiritual journey you are undertaking. It is a commitment you choose to make to yourself, to All Souls, and the congregation. All journeys are different; please take your time to discover what makes All Souls special, and make an informed decision - is this is the church you've been looking for?
Why Should I Join?
Your reasons for joining will be based on your needs, and those needs vary widely! All Souls is a community of communities: a large church with an intimate feel. We have become a global church, welcoming people far and wide, in person and online. Our services and programming is becoming more and more accessible in hybrid formats. You are a part of this fellowship, near and far! Membership is available to our virtual congregants (the Connecting Souls) with the same benefits as our in-person congregants.
You feel connected and want to deepen your relationship with All Souls by completing the membership process and join.
You have been a part of the community and want to accept the responsibility of membership, which includes voting in congregational meetings.
You are interested in the life and health of the congregation, and find value, purpose and meaning in being a part of the great family that is All Souls.

Path to Membership
These are the steps to becoming a member of All Souls Church!
1 – Let us know that you are interested in membership, when you complete the weekly Connection Card. You may also contact us directly.
2 – Take classes: the Exploring UU* and Path to Membership class are offered several times a year, sometimes as a whole-day in-person session and other times as two separate online sessions.
3 – Tell us more about yourself by completing your membership profile.
4 – Make a pledge of financial support to the All Souls Annual Fund.
5 – Sign the “Book” (yes it is a physical book) when you officially join All Souls Church Unitarian. It is available at the Welcome Table each week after the service.
6 – Get more involved with the life of the church. Check out these groups and volunteer opportunities.
* If you have been a member of another Unitarian Universalist (UU) congregation in the past, you do not have to take Exploring UU (though you may find it helpful and you are welcome to).

“We join together in solidarity as a covenanted people, who are drawn together by the promise of connection and the mysterious pull of the unanswerable. We draw on experiences of love and wonder to lift our hearts and move us beyond the mundane.”
