A safe place to explore the flood of emotions and questions arising when your child comes out as LGBTQ+. Led by parents who "get it," have been where you are, and want to support YOU. No ongoing group commitment required. Drop in to find immediate support. Stay connected as long as you need, come and go as you wish. Sign in or be anonymous. The door is open, come on in!

God is building a home. They are using us all—irrespective of how we got here—in what They are building. God used the apostles and prophets for the foundation. Now God is using you, fitting you in brick by brick, stone by stone, with Christ Jesus as the cornerstone that holds all the parts together.
