Our Story

Faith without masks.

We're a church for people who know they're called to something more and haven't found a place where that calling is recognized, developed, or released.

Why we exist

The Church of the Misfits is not a church for people who don't belong anywhere. It's a church for people who know they're called to something more — the overlooked, the church-hurt, the creative, the curious, the emerging leader.

We help people develop an open and authentic relationship with their Higher Power while discovering, developing, and activating the gifts, talents, and purpose already placed within them.

We believe belonging should come before perfection, that questions are welcome, and that God is bigger than human labels and divisions.

Mission

To create a safe and empowering community where people can belong, heal, grow, and become who they were meant to be.

Vision

A global, online-first spiritual community where people from every background grow, discover purpose, and impact the world — without fear, judgment, denominational politics, or hidden agendas.

A Safe Place

What you won't find — and who's welcome

You won't find

  • ✗  Judgment of your past
  • ✗  Fear-and-brimstone control
  • ✗  Political agendas as faith
  • ✗  Exclusive club rules
  • ✗  Hidden agendas or strings
  • ✗  Any pressure to wear a mask

You're welcome — no conditions

  • ✔  If a church has hurt you before
  • ✔  If you're LGBTQ+ and were told you don't belong
  • ✔  If you're full of questions and doubts
  • ✔  If you're a creative or dreamer who never fit
  • ✔  If you've been overlooked or counted out

You belong before you believe. Come as you are — all of you is welcome.
