Family and Friends: Hope Group
Has someone you love embraced a homosexual or transgender identity, or struggle with same-sex attraction/gender confusion? Are you confused about how to show love in a situation that challenges your own Christian beliefs? Is it difficult or impossible for you to find people with whom you can share your pain? We invite you to join the Hope Group, our intentional discipleship program for family and friends of loved ones struggling with or embracing LGBTQ feelings or identity.
There are Three Options Available to You:
1. Hope Group In-Person
Join us at the Portland Fellowship House Tuesday nights at 6:00PM as we address various topics that will help us relate to our loved ones with grace and truth. We will discuss Dealing with Grief, Roots of Sexual Brokenness, Restoring Relationships, Effective Communication, Responding Biblically to LGBTQ Loves Ones, and more. The series includes short video teachings produced by Portland Fellowship, which also feature a variety of testimonies from other parents. Handouts with questions about each topic will be available as we process together. In addition, we will make time to share personal needs, ask questions and receive prayer.
