Senior Minister
Rev. Micah Bucey
My queer agenda is to nurture curiosity and artistry in everyone, to embrace artists as modern day prophets, and to make artists out of people who would never call themselves artists. I love crafting prayers and rituals that inspire others to mine the spiritual sustenance in everything they encounter.
While I am ordained in the Christian tradition, my imagination is most activated by an interspiritual approach that celebrates the diverse ways that divinity manifests in everything and in everyone. I prefer questions over answers, weird over normal, authentic over perfect, and funny over formal. I care deeply about healing souls and spirits that have been hurt by those who use religion as an excuse to shame, damage, and dismiss.
I love glitter because it gets my palms messy and reminds me that the work of spirituality, art, and justice is not a clean, pretty process, but a sticky, gritty one. I believe the revolutionary roots of Christianity are inherently queer and I paint my nails to declare my commitment to continually queering myself. I aim to embody the Gospel imperative to act justly, to love fiercely, and to move fabulously through the world.You can learn more about me and my work at micahbucey.com.

Through life’s journey, I’ve seen that progress is possible when we focus our initiatives on the collective advancement of all whom we share this existence with! I believe God calls the Church to create a community where the inherent dignity and sacredness of all God’s creation can be recognized and cultivated. Judson's values resonate deeply with my own, aligning with the vision of creating a world where divine siblings can thrive in harmony.
I’ve seen our society go through some turbulent times, but still I see the light that shines through darkness. Working at Judson puts me in collaboration with individuals and teams who are full of love and integrity, extending support and nurture to those in need, and it restores my faith in humanity.
In a previous role as a church administrator, I learned many things, including the importance of good stewardship of a church’s assets. Being a good steward of the church’s building, its finances, and its potential as an institution, looked like getting clear about how we would maximize our assets to do God’s work. With a steadfast commitment to cultivating a just and compassionate world, I am honored to be warmly welcomed to Judson as the Director of Finance and Administration.
Leveraging God's gifts bestowed upon me and my previous experience with strategic planning, operational efficiency, and financial management, I am excited to demonstrate compassionate and transformative leadership that helps drive forward Judson’s mission and vision for the future of our world! Thank you for joining me in this endeavor!
