Story
This ministry was born at the intersection of faith, professional experience in gender-based violence, and a deep commitment to the church’s call to protect the vulnerable. Drawing on experience as a Child Abuse Forensic Investigator, along with specialized training in offender safety planning and child protection, its foundation brings together professional expertise and theological reflection into service for the church.
What began as a Bible study at Messiah Lutheran Church in Columbus, Ohio, emerged a central question: How can churches faithfully respond to abuse? As the ministry took shape, its work gained support within the wider church. In 2025, the ministry was selected for a Lutheran SEEDS Fellowship, and in 2026 it received an ELCA Grant (Katie’s Grant).
At its heart, this ministry supports faith communities to name harm honestly, respond with accountability, and center the voices of those affeced by abuse. In doing so, it reflects the church's distinct mission to embody Christ's call to protect, care for, and uphold the dignity of all people.
