About Us

The mission of Ugly Church is to identify, promote, and support churches and individuals doing holistic ministry among the marginalized, disenfranchised, and disregarded, whom Jesus referred to as the “least”, and to encourage and educate churches in how to engage them.  Ugly Church believes that Jesus laid out the blueprint for His ministry in Luke 4, which as the body of Christ, the Church is called to follow.

We seek to be a source of encouragement for churches and organizations involved in “live by” rather than “drive by” ministry. Through our diverse gifts and abilities, by working together for the Kingdom of God, more can be done together for the glory of God than separately.


Resources & Community

We’re all about developing a community of collaboration and support. To fulfill our calling to reach the least, last, and lost, we need the body of Christ working together.

We’re just getting started, but if you want to know more, check out the blog and let us know what you think.

If you think you might be part of an ugly church, have ideas about how to “get ugly,” or just have encouraging stories, we’d love to hear them.
