Are you the Christian parent of a LGBTQ+ person?
Don’t worry. You’re not alone.
“Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be afraid, for I am your God.” (Isaiah 41:10a NRSV)

Parent Drop-In Group
Meets year-round, designed for parents brand new to the journey
Welcome! We’re so glad that you’re thinking about joining us – or even listening in with the video off. Our group meets every Wednesday, year-round, to provide support and community for Christian parents whose child has come out to them.
The first Wednesday of each month we meet at 8pm (EST) / 5pm (PST) – a great option for parents who work during the day!
All other Wednesdays we meet at 2:30pm (EST) / 11:30am (PST).
Wednesday Drop-In Group, or "W-Dig", is designed for any parent of an LGBTQ child (whether a young child or an older adult) who would like to come process their own feelings about the experience of having a gay, lesbian, bisexual, trans, nonbinary, questioning or queer child, and learn how to connect more deeply with them.
Every parent is welcome here, no matter how you feel or what you believe. Trust me, you'll meet compassionate, supportive parents who once felt just like you do now.
If you have questions, feel free to reach out to the group leader, Linda Robertson, at LindaDRobertson@gmail.com.
Resources
What About the Bible?
What does the Bible say about being gay, bisexual, nonbinary, or trans? We have a resource that wrestles with that very question.
We Have a Guide for You!
With the help of B.T. Harman, we’ve created a free Guide for Parents of Newly Out LGBTQ+ People. We think you’ll find it encouraging!
Help! My Kid Just Came Out!
This Many Christian parents or guardians whose kid comes out need support and guidance. Maybe you did too when your kid came out?
Thankfully, loving LGBTQ+ allies from around the world answered the call and have shared their own stories about acceptance, education, and compassion. They’re showing the world how being a Christian and loving your LGBTQ+ kid go hand in hand.
View their stories and words of encouragement below and on the site!
