Rev. Aurelia Dávila Pratt, M.Div., LMSW, is a poet, preacher, and sacred spacemaker. An Imago Dei enthusiast, she engages themes of belonging, dignity, and hope, specifically in these uncertain times. One expression of her work is what she calls “spoken word exegesis,” a poetic reimagining of scripture through a healing and liberative lens.

Aurelia is co-founder of Peace of Christ Church, a radically loving community in Round Rock, Texas, where she served as lead pastor for seven years and remains an active part of the community. She is the author of A Brown Girl’s Epiphany: Reclaim Your Intuition and Step Into Your Power, published by Broadleaf Books.

She’s contributed articles to Progressing Spirit, Good Faith Media, the Alliance of Baptists, Baptist Women in Ministry, the Baptist Joint Committee for Religious Liberty, Sojourners, the Austin American Statesman and more. She’s a contributing author of the book The Everyday Mystic (ed. Kevin Sweeney) and has been featured in Voyage Austin, Publishers Weekly, The Christian Century, and Sojourners.

Aurelia was named by Sojourners as one of “Ten Christian Women Shaping the Church in 2022” and currently serves on the Advisory Board of Good Faith Media. She lives in Central Texas with her husband of 19 years and their ten-year-old daughter.
