A Safe Space for Christian Parents, Guardians, and Caregivers of LGBTQ+ Children to Connect, Learn and Grow in their Relentless Love for their Children
God’s love is relentless. It can’t be gained or earned. It can’t be lost or abandoned. It simply is. As our heavenly parent, God relentlessly pursues relationship with us. Parent Summit is your opportunity to immerse yourself in God’s love so that you can love your children the way that God loves you.
Without condition. Without holding back. Relentlessly.
Loving your child well is the primary way to protect their mental health and their relationship with Christ.
Join with other parents who love God and love God's Word who are discovering the transformative power of loving their LGBTQ children the way that God loves all of us. Learn from their successes. Learn even more from their failures. You will laugh, cry, and grow as the stories of other families just like yours are shared in a safe, compassionate space. You will leave with tools for healthy communication, a support system of friends who “get you” and a renewed sense of God’s relentless love for you and your child. Your children, LGBTQ+ or not, will love you for it. See you at the Summit!
