WELCOME TO REVEREND DAUGHTER MINISTRIES
What We Believe
We believe in a God of the oppressed.
We believe in the salvific qualities of Black women’s practical wisdom and moral agency that are the source of survival, wholeness and liberation as demonstrated by Hagar, Carol Smith and countless others who make a way out of no way.
We believe in Black Jesus who was profiled, policed and persecuted by the State on trumped-up charges.
We believe that Jesus’ life and ministry is instructive of abolitionist ideals and the emancipatory goal of disrupting oppressive systems and demanding a radical reordering of social structures where the last become first.
We believe that Jesus died a criminal’s death, but ultimately transcended criminality on the cross.
We believe resurrection generates hope in a just and equitable world without State violence and that calls us into right relationship by restoring the humanity and dignity of individuals who are criminalized and caged.
We believe in Spirit as Advocate.
We believe in Spirit that ignited the resistance of Harriet Tubman, Sojourner Truth, social movements and a global fight for freedom.
We believe Spirit draws all individuals — women, men, girls, boys, transgender, femme, non-binary, gender non-conforming — together in a beloved community of compassion, care, creativity and the courage to ensure universal flourishing.
We affirm the spirit of abolition and a faith of liberation that calls us into deep solidarity and transformative discipleship that is at the heart of the aspiring Church that is civically engaged and on the front-lines in the struggle for justice, equality and communal flourishing beyond policing, prisons, and punishment.
