About Us.

Two seminarians who love technology and the church came across an incredible discovery: the holy sacrament of communion had not yet been made into an app.  We prayerfully decided to change that.  

Our Team

Thoughts, prayers, and words

Kenji Kuramitsu
​Theologian

I am a writer, activist, chaplain and clinical social work student living in Chicago, IL. I’m currently working towards graduate degrees from McCormick Theological Seminary and the University of Chicago, and have a background in Social Work and Spanish. Being raised in multiple faith communities – Roman Catholic, evangelical, and UCC – helped me to nurture an ecumenical interest in social justice. I am passionate about Japanese American history, decolonial and antiracist organizing, and LGBTQ advocacy work in faith communities. I wrote a devotional prayer book called, A Booklet of Uncommon Prayer: Collects for the #BlackLivesMatter Movement and Beyond, and hope to write more in the future!

Shamika Goddard
​Tech Chaplain

I am passionate about people and technology! I was born and raised in San Antonio, TX and am the oldest of four children. Attending math and engineering camps for fun in junior high and high school, I was excited about learning and eager to help save the world.

​After graduating from Stanford University, I served a year with AmeriCorps through Reading Partners in Queens and decided to stay in New York City. I went on to study technology and ethics at Union Theological Seminary in the city of New York and am thrilled to be serving others as a Tech Chaplain. I write and speak about technology and social justice issues as well as code projects like this app!
