About Rev. Christina

Reverend Christina Garza doesn’t just preach the word—she lives it loud, proud, and unapologetically bold.

Born and raised in Chicago, this proud Chicana/Latina brings her whole self to the table: cultural roots, street smarts, academic training, spiritual grit, and a bold, bilingual voice for transformation. Rev. Christina isn’t your traditional reverend—she’s a sacred disruptor with a mission to awaken, include, and ignite.

With over 20 years walking the Unity and New Thought path, she blends deep metaphysical wisdom with real-world heart. Ordained in 2019 through Unity Urban Ministerial School in Detroit, she most recently served as Senior Minister at Unity of Nashville (2021–2024), where she energized a multigenerational, multicultural congregation with authenticity, joy, and divine feminine flare.

Her ministry centers the often-overlooked—the LGBTQ community, Spanish-speaking folks, low-income families—and makes sacred space for healing, wholeness, and belonging. She preaches in two languages and builds bridges where others build walls.

But Rev. Christina’s impact goes way beyond the pulpit. Off the platform, Rev. Christina’s a certified Q Effect coach, a spiritual liberation catalyst, and a nonprofit powerhouse with 25+ years of leadership experience. She is a political philosophy scholar, with an All But Dissertation (ABD) from the University of Michigan, as well as the founder and CEO of a consulting firm that helps mission-driven organizations level up their impact.

When she’s not speaking truth in Unity Magazine or holding space in soulful workshops, you’ll find her dancing salsa with her wife Veronica, feeding the neighborhood stray cats, or crafting dazzling diamond-dot art with her daughter Isabella. And in all she does, she radiates the power of purpose, healing, and holy fire.

Rev. Christina Garza is the voice in the room reminding you that Spirit speaks Spanglish, loves fiercely, and dances to salsa beats.
