Are you a pastor or person of faith who wants to support your community to sell their building?
As a pastor in Memphis I walked alongside a congregation that sold their building and moved toward new life together. I support churches who are closing/selling a building and want to leverage that transition toward making bold racial justice commitments and reparations.
Are you a Christian who is interested in organizing your community toward anti-racism practice and commitments?
As an organizer I have supported congregations to collectively learn and reckon with their power as an institution and community in order to show up more powerfully in the movement for racial justice. I support congregations who want to build capacity and power within their church for racial justice.
“If a church wants to move past merely acknowledging racism and into meaningful action, I can’t recommend Lucy enough. Her expertise, graciousness and passion intersect in a way that can mobilize a group that may think they’re not cut out to be part of the change. Lucy’s use of somatic practices keeps the group grounded, cultivating a deep commitment to the ongoing work.”

“Lucy worked with our church to develop a racial justice team. She is empathetic and brings out the best in everyone. The process of transferring leadership to the group began almost immediately and I felt transformed by the realization that we could carry on this effort on our own as a group. I felt free to express myself and step increasingly into significant roles and actions.”
Gail Lanphear, Presbyterian Church of Traverse City, MI
“When Lucy came to our church, we were moving from a well-loved property into the unknown. She listened to and communicated with all the people who were working to make the transition and found a way to help our community see how bright the future could be. She was the guiding light of our evolution and made our new church property into a beautiful and welcoming home.”
