I'm Rachel Rogers (they/she), a communications professional, seminary student, and church leader based in Nashville, Tennessee. I work at the intersection of strategy, storytelling, and community-building, with experience in internal communications, team leadership, and organizational planning. I’m especially drawn to work that invites clarity, care, and alignment with values.

Right now, I’m navigating full-time corporate work, graduate studies in Unitarian Universalist ministry, and active leadership in my congregation. My work spans everything from crafting organizational messages and facilitating strategic planning sessions to writing sermons and supporting collaborative decision-making. I also serve as a guest preacher in congregations across the region and regularly support my home congregation as board president and worship leader.

My theological grounding is rooted in connection, change, and shared responsibility. In my twenties, I left the church of my youth and began a spiritual journey shaped by Buddhist study, community practice, and the writings of Octavia Butler. Earthseed’s belief that “God is change” and Ani DiFranco’s lyric, “God’s work isn’t done by God, it’s done by people,” continue to shape my conviction that justice is a collective calling, grounded in the worth and dignity of every person and the interconnectedness of all life.

I’m also a parent and partner, and I consider family life to be sacred work—full of daily lessons in love, imperfection, and presence. It keeps me grounded in what matters most.
