What to Expect

Join us for an evening of hearing the personal testimonies of four former LGBTQ- identified individuals who have encountered the transforming power of Jesus Christ and chosen to walk in their identity in Him.

Group Holding Hands

Through authentic stories of struggle, surrender, healing, and discipleship, participants will gain greater understanding and practical insight for walking alongside others with both conviction and Christlike love.

Dove and Hand

This faith-based workshop is designed to equip the Body of Christ to minister with biblical truth, compassion, grace, and hope to those navigating questions of sexuality, identity, and faith.

Wooden Cross Pendant

The evening will also include personal testimony from parents who have personally navigated the difficult journey of having a daughter who identifies as part of the LGBTQ community. They will share their experiences and the valuable insights God has taught them during this process.
