Volunteer Opportunities
Coffee Hour Hospitality
Would you like to help run coffee hour after a Sunday service? You could be an individual who’s willing to help, or a church committee, or even a family group who’d like to host. We have detailed instructions on what needs to be done, so no prior experience is necessary. Please talk to Judy if you need more information, or sign-up on the church Sign-Up Genius link below.
Greeters and Guides
Greeters are volunteers who give a warm welcome to all souls at All Souls Indy! Our greetings should be inclusive, but not intrusive. Our intention is to give people a positive welcoming experience when attending All Souls. We are looking for warm, friendly, respectful volunteers to greet people at our front door before and after our services.
For more information, please contact Ollie Howe via office@allsoulsindy.org
Audio Visual Team
On Sunday morning our services are live-streamed on YouTube. The small team of audio-visual experts need volunteers to help with the sound equipment, the camera, and the technical elements of the service on any given Sunday. No prior experience or knowledge is necessary – all are welcome to learn something new and be an extra set of hands in the balcony on a Sunday morning.
For more information, please contact Liz at lizmusic@allsoulsindy.org
Sunday Flowers
Would you like to sponsor flowers in the Sanctuary in honor of a loved one or special event – or just to see additional beauty during the service? Flowers may be sponsored any Sunday for $85 with a note included in the Order of Celebration stating for whom, or what event, the flowers are in honor of. Payment can be made online or directly to ASUC for “Sanctuary Flowers”. Sign-up must be made by the Thursday prior to the requested Sunday. This is a fundraising effort to bring beauty and a few extra dollars to All Souls. Please sign-up on the church Sign-Up Genius below. Thank you in advance for your gift of flowers!
Social Justice Opportunities
Here are some social justice initiatives you could help with:
- Food Pantry
- Mutual Aid Over Everything: Provides mutual aid to unhoused folks in Indianapolis.

Green Team
The All Souls Green Team meets on the second Sunday of each month after coffee hour around 11:30 for about 30-45 minutes. The focus of the Green Team for this year is “Education in order to take Action” both as a church community and individually in our personal lives. Topics include reuse, repurpose and recycle plastics, using laundry sheets, native plants and solar energy to name a few.
Butterfly Garden Group
The Butterfly Garden lives outside the Atrium windows and was started in 2010. All of the plants are native perennials and suitable for wetter soils. The native plants that were chosen were selected based on the native butterflies we have in this area, and the larval food plants that each of these butterfly species prefer. In effect, the garden was planned in reverse, with the native butterflies determining the larval plants that went into the garden. All the booming plants provide nectar for all of the mature butterflies
