This fall we’ll be hosting a two week Parent Connect, where we will listen in on a conversation of panel members who wrestle with the opportunity we have to enjoy our gender and sexuality in the midst of confusion and brokenness in their own lives, the lives of their children, and those they lead and love. Week two will be built around questions taken from the members of the audience. We will include resource help and next steps for our church community in this important area of our culture. We would be honored by your presence.

If you can’t attend in person, come back to this page during the scheduled connects to watch live.

Please submit a question for our panel by Wednesday, September 11, here.

Small Group Opportunity This Fall
Our church longs to be a place where everyone is loved and accepted with Grace and Truth. As conversations about LGBTQ+ issues become more common place, we desire to help parents and primary caregivers who need encouragement while walking this journey. Our “Parenting LGBTQ+ Kids” group exists as a support group for parents who have children of any age who identify with this community, and who want to love well and think biblically while caring for their child’s needs.
