Rue (She/They) is a Northern Virginia native who brings deep care, a creative spirit, and sacred curiosity to her work in ministry. She is passionate about cultivating spaces of belonging, where students of all identities and backgrounds can be in community together to practice and explore their faith, creativity, play, and purpose.
Her background is in education, creative direction, family ministry, community organizing and care, and spiritual formation. Rue centers her work on the transformative power of relationships, rest, and radical love.
She sees ministry as an act of sacred world-building and participates in the holy work of co-creating God’s kingdom here on earth. Through acts of hospitality, liberation, and imagination, she invites others into a vision of the world rooted in love, equity, and collective flourishing
When she’s not planning soulful gatherings or sharing tea and a funny story, you can find Rue outside checking out bugs, tending her tea garden, writing her future best seller, or making art. She lives with her beloved tuxedo cat/son, Louis. When Rue grows up she wants to be an ice cream truck driver.
