About Bithiah Soul care
The Mission
Bithiah Soul Care exists as a response to the need for a firm foundation in which to place our identities. The mission is to support, enable, and equip those forgotten or pushed aside by faith communities to step into their fullness of belonging as a child of God. It is meant to be a place of safety to talk about the hard stuff, voice questions, and share your story. A place you may bring your full self. If you are struggling with otherness, this might be a good place for you to rest awhile.
This is welcome space for those of any faith, political belief, and social standing. It is an affirming space for those within the lgbtqia+ community.
The Name
Bithiah is presumed to be the name of the daughter of Pharaoh. She found Moses in the waters of the Nile and folded him into the family. She is a female representation of God in narrative form. She is a representation of blended families. She is an adoptive figure. While adoption stories in our current day are often fraught with trauma, in the Bible they are typically an illustration of our belonging in the Kin-dom of God. As Moses aged and learned more of his beginnings, he grappled with identity. Bithiah reminds us that we belong regardless of otherness.
Testimonies
“Brigitte has been church to me and my kids by operating within the economy of the kingdom”
-K.L.
“She pastors from a place of care and compassion. She was helpful while I was grieving.”
-Y.B.
“I don’t go to church anymore because I had some bad experiences with leadership. I was able to process some questions I didn’t feel comfortable sharing with anyone at church. It’s nice to have someone to talk to who doesn’t judge where I am at and lets me just be in this place. I’m encouraged by how she holds space.”
-A.S.

The FOUNDER
Brigitte Piskura believes that all people are created in the image of God and that is the primary identity out of which we were meant to function. As an affirming Christian, she is passionate about pursuing and enabling advocacy, agency, and identity through the lens of faith in Jesus, and radical inclusion in the modern church. She lives in California with her spouse, three kids, and the baby of the family, a rescue dog named Jack.
Brigitte welcomes both she/her and they/them pronouns- because we are first children of God before we are anything else.
