You, yes YOU! are made in the image of God.
We strongly believe LGBTQIA+ youth are made in the image and likeness of God.
We celebrate the diversity of gender identities and human sexuality and believe that no one should have to check aspects of their identity at the door when they walk into a church. To that end, Divine seeks to create a space for LGBTQIA+ youth and their families to explore faith, spirituality, and belief in a brave way, knowing that the whole of who they are is valued and affirmed here, including questions and doubts.
Divine is a respectful, inclusive, and empowering space where LGBTQIA+ youth and their families can come together and find support, resources, and spiritual nourishment as they navigate their unique journeys of self-discovery and identity expression.
At Divine, the sacredness of each person is not up for debate, rather we start from a place of acceptance and affirmation!
In our five-week program, Divine participants gather for dinner, conversation, and support. We break bread, read scripture, share our stories, and explore what the Christian tradition means for us and how God might be speaking in our midst. Youth are paired with LGBTQIA+ adult mentors and parents/caregivers also have an opportunity to connect with and support one another through guided group conversation.
