Why We Pledge
In a world that feels increasingly divided and uncertain, All Souls continues to be a place of courage, compassion, and community. Here, we rise—together—toward hope, justice, and love beyond belief.
Every year, our members and friends make pledges that sustain the daily work of this congregation: worship that grounds us, programs that grow us, pastoral care that supports us, and justice ministries that reach beyond our walls.
Because All Souls gives away its Sunday offering every week to strengthen partners across Tulsa, we rely entirely on the generosity of our members to fund our own operations. Your giving keeps our doors open, our lights on, and our mission alive.
Why It Matters
As you consider your pledge this year, we invite you to reflect on what All Souls means in your life—what it provides when the world feels uncertain. If this community has lifted you, challenged you, or helped you feel less alone, we ask you to help it rise for others too.
Please make your pledge—or increase it if you’re able—to ensure that All Souls can continue to be that steady, loving presence our city and world so deeply need.
Together, We Rise.
How to Pledge
Visit allsouls.me/pledge to complete your 2026 Operating Pledge online. Or, you can pick up your pledge packet in Emerson Hall on Sundays between October 5th and November 9th, or anytime at the church office.
Thank you for your generosity and for helping All Souls rise together.

Conscious Inclusion
White-Identifying Caucus Group
Sept. 10 and 24, Oct. 8 and 22, Nov. 5 and 19 | In person only | pre-registration required
Conscious Inclusion works with those who identify as white to foster deeper connections with ourselves and our own cultures and across racial and cultural lines, so that we may move forward as allies with a shared understanding. “We (white people) need to do the work to be anti-racist. No matter how far along the path we think we are, we have further to go. This is an opportunity for sincere reflection and growth, across racial boundaries. By learning about ourselves and each other, we can build a community that truly embodies inclusivity and love.” - Shannon Boston, Executive Director of Religious Exploration.
Conscious Inclusion is the first step in a transformative initiative designed to enhance cultural competence, address systemic inequities, and foster a deep sense of empathy and solidarity within a predominantly white Unitarian Universalist church community. The counterpoint to this course for BIPOC members is “IMPACT” which will be occurring simultaneously. There is an additional 10-session class in the Spring for both BIPOC and white members to engage in together. The entire 16-session program is available on a sliding scale for $25-$100, including the workbook, The Racial Healing Handbook.

IMPACT
BIPOC Caucus Group

IMPACT works with those who identify as Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) to enrich their understanding and integration into the community of All Souls. It encourages open dialogue, promotes personal reflection on biases, and builds stronger community relations. The program seeks actionable changes to ensure the church is genuinely inclusive for all members, particularly those from BIPOC backgrounds, with a focus on sustaining these inclusivity efforts long-term. It is the first step in a transformative initiative designed to enhance cultural competence, address systemic inequities, and foster a deep sense of empathy and solidarity within a predominantly white Unitarian Universalist church community.

About the Discussion
Join the Women of All Souls Book Club for a thought-provoking conversation around Girl on Girl by Sophie Gilbert.
In this powerful analysis, Gilbert explores how pop culture in the late 1990s and early 2000s reshaped modern feminism—collapsing its progress into a culture of hyper-sexualization and self-critique.
Together, we’ll discuss the book’s insights into how those years still influence women’s lives today and what it means for feminism moving forward.
This gathering is free and open to all who identify as women. Books are available for purchase at the All Souls Book Table on Sunday mornings.
This year’s Love & Light Gala will be held on Saturday, November 1, 2025, at 6:00 PM at Southern Hills Country Club. We’ll gather to honor Rev. Dr. Marlin Lavanhar, Senior Minister, for his 25 years of leadership at All Souls and throughout the Tulsa community.

Join us for an unforgettable evening celebrating 25 years of ministry and the bright future ahead. Secure your spot today at allsouls.me/gala.
