Guiding Families helps every pastor, parent, and all who care relate effectively to LGBT+ loved ones.

For every pastor, parent, and all who care.

Access practical, God-honoring guidance to relate effectively with LGBT+ people in your family, church, ministry, Christian school, or other community setting.

Enhance Church Inclusion

Guiding Families rejects the “us vs. them” mentality for the truth that LGBT+ youth are us – our students, teens, and children.

Increase Family Acceptance

Christian parents have an opportunity to accept, rather than reject, their children – even while holding to their biblical beliefs.

Protect Against Victimization

LGBT+ youth are at increased risk for suicidality, bullying, family rejection, & homelessness – risks pastors & parents can reduce.

Nourish Faith
Identity

When youth have a stable, loving, safe environment in which to understand their identity, there is room to get to know Jesus Christ.

Guiding Families resources offer a relationally honoring, biblically sound path forward.

Our resources will help you to respond well when LGBT+ people come out; build a support team for LGBT+ loved ones and their families; and engage LGBT+ individuals in a trusting relationship over the long term.
