The Inclusive Christian

Reclaiming the Gospel for Love, Inclusion, & Justice

Everyone Is Welcome written on chalkboard

At The Inclusive Christian, our mission is simple: to help reclaim the Gospel by proclaiming the radical love of God for all people. In a world where Christianity has often been hijacked by fear, division, and the desire for power, we confront harmful ideologies that have hurt so many in the name of faith.

So 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 garner power or privilege.

That’s why The Inclusive Christian dedicates itself to proclaiming Progressive Christianity. Here, we celebrate curiosity and encourage questions. We welcome diversity and affirm that God’s love knows no boundaries. All are welcome–just as they are–to experience the radical, unconditional love of God.

So if your picture of the Church is one of judgment and division–we get it. If you’ve been told you don’t belong, please hear us say, “You do.” Let’s explore Progressive Christianity and (re)discover a faith that celebrates inclusion, grace, and love, and welcomes everyone without condition and without exception.

Learn more about us and what we believe.

Why it 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, to exclude. 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to marginalize the poor, oppress LGBTQ+ folks, deny women’s rights, stoke racial and nationalist fear, and cling to outdated systems of control.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.
