MORE ABOUT TRACY: Tracy is a musician, producer, theologian and pastor. She is the Minister for Community and Congregational Engagement for Justice and Witness Ministries (JWM) in the National Setting of the the United Church of Christ. As the MCCE she works with artists and ministers to translate the many powerful resources of JWM into music and liturgy for the local church setting and develop art, creative advocacy initiatives and more to help communities and congregations encounter and process complex realities in the context of the progressive theology and justice commitments of the UCC.

During this time, she founded Restoration Village Arts, allowing her to work alongside communities who were actively seeking new expressions of arts, worship and theology in their local contexts. She produced several albums during that time under the creative moniker for her band, The Restoration Project.
