About Us
Violence Free Faith was born from a long-recognized need and a dream nurtured for years – to create faith communities free from abuse and harm.
Officially incorporated in 2024, we are turning that vision into action by equipping leaders and communities to foster safety, justice, and healing.

Survivor Advisory Board
Violence Free Faith believes survivors are the most powerful leaders in ending spiritual abuse and violence within faith communities.
Our Survivor Advisory Board exists to elevate survivor voices, ensure they are heard and valued as experts in their own healing, and guide the transformation of communities and faith spaces into places of safety and accountability.
Liberating faith from violence and abuse will need all of us.
