We want to provide space where LGBTQ background Christians and their family members might grow in their identity in Christ. This is what we refer to as strengthening a Believer’s ladder (Jn. 1:51c; 14:12bc). We also want to strengthen the relationships among families and the Church, these relationships are bridges and are the fundamental approach to ministering Heaven’s love and power between Believers and LGBTQ+ peoples.
We are not licensed therapists but Christian leaders who seek to apply Spirit-led direction, Scripture, wisdom, and reason to help individuals and their families mature in Jesus.
The following points of emphasis explain a bit of our methodology:
- focusing on furthering an LGBTQ person’s (or family member’s) personal relationship with God through Jesus.
- inviting the Holy Spirit to bring wholeness.
- applying Scripture with wisdom and love.
- connecting individuals to supportive and sound Christian community.
- activating LGBTQ background Christians toward their own mission with the Trinity.
- supporting and validating the realities and complexities of being Christian while dealing with Same-Sex Attraction (SSA) or Gender Dysphoria (GD). While helping loved ones understand those realities.
- we create safe spaces to help persons who desire to be open, known, and challenged toward living in Christ. We do this in one on one settings, personalized small group settings, and small groups.
- We refer out to licensed therapists and care providers where appropriate.
- we seek to uphold confidentiality.
Family and Friends Support Group
This branch of the ministry provides a safe space to support, care, pray and stand in solidarity with the family members or close friends of LGBTQ people. This group is hope and prayer centered rather than solutions based. While solutions and helpful tools may arise, the aim of the group is to provide a safe space. Groups are kept small in order to ensure quality time.
We currently meet via zoom on the first Thursday evenings of the month, from 645-745p.
All participants must fill out this waiver.
Identity Discipleship Group
We desire to see people more emotionally mature, more healed and delivered (from any thing that binds them negatively) because they are walking in their identity in Christ and living for the glory of God on the earth.
We will seek to reach our goals by the following:
- Forming a biblical anthropology in large groups
- Applying that biblical anthropology in small groups through the processes of Bible-based small group discussions, inner healing prayer, and various resources.
- This group will be co-ed and will uphold confidentiality so that people are able to thrive in safe Community.
We will meet once per week via Zoom on most Sundays 230-330p.
