The Inclusive Christian
Reclaiming the Gospel for Love, Inclusion, & Justice
At The Inclusive Christian, our mission is simple: to help reclaim the Gospel by boldly proclaiming the radical love of God for all people.
In a world where Christianity has often been co-opted by fear, division, and the pursuit of power, we stand against the harmful theologies and ideologies that have inflicted profound pain in the name of faith. We are striving to reclaim the Gospel–refusing to let voices of judgment, control, and condemnation to define Christianity or exclude anyone from its embrace.
That’s why we reject the use of Christianity to judge, exclude, or condemn anyone because of who they are or where they’ve been. Just as we reject the manipulation of faith to gain power or privilege.
Grounded in Progressive Christianity, The Inclusive Christian embraces curiosity, welcomes questions, and celebrates diversity. We affirm that God’s love transcends all boundaries–no conditions, no exceptions.
So if your picture of the Church is one of judgment and division–we get it. And if you’ve been told you don’t belong, please hear us say, “You do.” Together, let’s (re)discover a faith rooted in grace, inclusion, and the relentless, transformative love of God.
Learn more about who we are and what we believe.
Why Progressive Christianity Matters
Because love should never be the exception.
“Love your neighbor as yourself.” It’s one of the clearest teachings in all of Scripture. But far too often, the Church has used religion to do the opposite–to divide, to shame, and to exclude. While progressive and mainline Christians have often remained silent, the loudest voices claiming to speak for Christianity have promoted exclusion and judgment, leaving many to believe this represents all of Christianity.But far too often, the Church has used religion to do the opposite–to divide, to shame, and to exclude. Both around the world and right here at home, faith is being weaponized to marginalize the poor, oppress LGBTQ+ folks, deny women’s rights, stoke racial and nationalist fear, and cling to outdated systems of control. That’s not the Gospel. And it’s certainly not Jesus.
At The Inclusive Christian, we believe Christianity should never be a barrier to belonging. Jesus didn’t come to gatekeep grace. He came to tear down the dividing walls and build up a radically inclusive community grounded in love, compassion, and justice.
This matters because people’s sense of worth, well-being, and belonging are on the line. Far too many walk away from faith—not because they don’t believe in God, but because they’ve been told God doesn’t believe in them.
So we’re here to change that narrative. We’re here to reclaim the Gospel as good news again—for everyone–and create community where no one is left out.
