I am an Ordained transgender minister and survived a cult.

Priestess Noel Ann McCreary is a transwoman who has overcome great adversity to become a beacon of hope and faith for the LGBTQ+ community. I was born into a family that was vehemently anti-LGBTQ+, and I suffered greatly at the hands of repression. Trapped in my old male mask, I turned to alcohol, substances, and unsavory associations to cope with my pain. Raised as a believer, I was wrongfully taught that my thoughts of being meant to be born female were a dastardly sin, and I convinced myself that GOD had somehow made a mistake with me. After years of repression, dissociation, and suicidal thoughts, my mother passed away, and I grew increasingly suicidal. In desperation, I decided to come out and live my truth as a transwoman. Within a short time, this had the consequences of me losing everything I had - my father, my partner, my job, and even a safe place to live. I ended up homeless and at one point even tried to take my own life. But GOD willing, the sheriff's department found me in time and got an ambulance to me. Shortly after that attempt, I discovered online seminary studies and became ordained, earning several certificates. I started up the Church of Christian Spiritualism & Lifestyle - all while homeless. I strive to do away with the wrongfully translated "clobber verses" and be a beacon of comfort and faith to everyone, but especially LGBTQ+ kids who desperately need to know that GOD didn't make a mistake and they are NOT sinners for being LGBTQ+. I registered the church with the St. Luke's Evangelical Christian Ministries independent church charters and am ready and standing by to help anyone in need of guidance - especially LGBTQ+ kids who are often lost, angry, and confused because of misused words and factually inaccurate information. I strongly affirm in my ministry work that being LGBTQ+ isn't and never was a sin according to the scrolls.
