Affirming Youth Ministries is a nonprofit organization dedicated to ministering to LGBTQIA+ Christian youth and those that love them through education, exploration, and connection in the name of radical inclusion, authenticity, and God’s expansive love: “We offer community and support to Christian youth (ages 13-25) through virtual weekly gatherings, virtual community, and resources. Through our work, we aim to center mental health, anti-racist practices, and intersectionality so that we may see the fullness of everyone’s humanity and God’s grace and love.”
