Violence Free Faith
Founded in 2022, Violence Free Faith is an inter-faith nonprofit organization committed to the belief that everyone deserves a life free from violence and abuse.
The organization works in two main areas:
- To prevent and respond to religious abuse by promoting safety, accountability, and healing within faith communities through training, consultation, and collaboration with faith communities
- To partner with national, state, and local social service providers to help them engage more effectively with faith communities in supporting survivors of abuse.
Board Details:
This is a working board; board members will be actively engaged in the operations of the organization at this time. In the near future, we’ll hire staff and transition the board to a governing board.
Board members serve a three-year term and may serve up to two consecutive terms.
There is no financial contribution required. We ask that you bring your skills, gifts, and talents to our group so we can root ourselves in our values of:
- Integrity
- Equity
- Diversity
- Respect
- Empathy

All board meetings are held virtually via Zoom. The board meets approximately six times per year (every other month). Board members must commit to attending at least four meetings annually and, if unable to attend, are expected to review the meeting minutes afterward.
