Mission and Purpose | Our Origin | Who We Are
CFT is a community faithful to Christ’s example, pursuing social justice and offering radical welcome to all.
We believe God created each of us in the divine image for relationship with God and one another.
We believe we are divinely called to do God’s will by sharing our most authentic selves responsibly in church, home, and society.
We believe answers to hard questions can be found through careful feminist examination of the Bible.
We value diverse religious experiences.
We value the gifts God has given every individual and have long advocated for the full equality of women and LGBTQ people in church and society.
We expand metaphors for God to include biblical female imagery.
We welcome members of any gender, gender identity, race, ethnicity, color, creed, marital status, sexual orientation, religious affiliation, age, political party, parental status, economic class, or disability. Our biennial conferences sustain our spiritual connectedness and foster our learning about critical Christian feminist issues. The Christian Feminism Today website provides Christian feminist news, articles, book reviews, blogs, Bible study, audio, links to explore, and inspiration.
