Welcome to 

Pride & Promises

 

Bridging the Gap Between God‘s Promises, Gospel Love, and LGBTQ+ Kids

 

Hold Onto Your Faith 

 Hold Onto Your Child

 

 

Your child just took the profound and courageous step of
coming out to their Christian parents.

So much makes sense, and at the same time, everything just became more complicated. And you have no idea where to turn.

Dear confused parent,

We understand. We see you.

We want you to know. . .

We're here to help

Can I invite you to breathe?

No, seriously, it’s okay for you to pause a moment and take a breath. God isn’t surprised by your child’s revelation.

Maybe you are, but He’ll wait for you to catch up.

If we’re anything alike, questions litter your mind like a cyclone. 

Do these sound familiar?

✓  Is God mad at me?
  Why my family?
  What will my church say?

  Who should (or shouldn't) I tell?
  Is my child going to hell?
  What do I say? 
  Does God love my child?
  Who should I turn to?

Fear not, you are not alone. 

Help me start

      Hi. I'm Kim

      (and that's my grand dog, Theo)

       

      As a parent who loves Jesus and my child, I’m walking this path with my family.

      We’ve navigated imperfectly. We’ve done some things well. We missed some things. We’ve had joys and pains, celebrations and hardships.

      We have hurts. Our child has more.

      Everyone’s carrying some collateral damage. Our church didn’t have resources for families like ours, and we’re left wondering how to hold onto the buckets of grace and truth, afraid of dropping one or the other.

      We're glad you're here. 

      Today is a great day to start our journeys, now that your child has come out.

      I wish I could reach a hand of reassurance directly to you and your child.

      I don’t know if we’ll ever understand the amount of courage it took for our children to reveal the most vulnerable aspect of their lives to us.  Thank you, child, for trusting your parents enough to share with them. (Even if it was messy, you did it!)

      Welcome…I think you’re both in the right place. I’m sure the Lord will stretch us as He teaches to walk this journey with grace. (Spoiler alert, parents AND kids need a boatload of the stuff.)

      I'm ready to start

      Our mission

      At Pride and Promises, we believe that every family’s journey is unique and precious.

      Our mission is to provide both the resources and the reassurance that you need to foster a loving foundation to build (or restore) relationships between parent and child. 

      While upholding your faith and loving your child can feel conflicting, we’ll explore more than the seven common verses familiar to every LBGTQ+ kid who grew up in a Christian home.

      We’ll seek biblical wisdom to walk this road well, no matter where our individual journeys land.

      So are you ready to link arms, open doors of conversation, and explore together?

      When your child discloses their LGBTQ+ identity, it can elicit your entire range of emotions. It's natural to have questions about everything . . .

      if you think it, I assure you some other parent has thought it, too.

       With tools to communicate effectively and compassionately, Pride and Promises serves to walk beside families like yours.  An excellent place to begin is with one conversation. These tools are more than just words and ideas—they are a bridge to a

      deeper connection and a broadened perspective 

      of your child, your faith, the words on the pages of Scripture, and yourself.

      It IS possible to...

         Hold Onto Your Faith While You Hold Onto Your Child.   

      Record Your Thoughts

          Hey there, amazing human

          Would you like to make a donation to

          Pride & Promises? 

          Every single contribution means we can keep doing the work that matters. Walking with Christian parents who are wrestling with love and understanding requires an investment that some simply cannot afford. We also support LGBTQ+ individuals who might not have anyone else in their corner. The work of building bridges where others see walls is the heart of what we do.

          Your generosity means we can:
          ✓ Continue our support groups for parents learning to love unconditionally
          ✓ Provide resources for families navigating complex circumstances
          ✓ Offer direct support to LGBTQ+ people in under-resourced communities who need a helping hand

          These aren't just programs. These are lives. Real humans, who need to know they are seen, valued, and loved exactly where they are.

          Pride & Promises is not a 501(c)3 organization; therefore, donations are not tax deductible.
