The Faith Initiative

The HiTOPS Faith Initiative Series seeks to build affirming spaces within faith communities for LGBTQ+ youth and their families. Over the past several years, we collected stories highlighting what it means to exist at the intersection of faith and queer identity. Shared voluntarily by individuals with lived experience, these stories were curated into a gallery and can be seen below. These stories have been woven with our training on sexual orientation, gender identity, and expression (SOGIE) and scriptural references into a two-part series.

HiTOPS Faith Initiative Series

Are you a part of a faith community that is interested in exploring how to create an environment that genuinely welcomes LGBTQ+ youth and their families? We invite you to host the HiTOPS Faith Invitiate Series. The sessions create a non-judgmental space with opportunities for questions and learning while providing concrete examples of welcoming congregations. This pilot project currently focuses on the Christian tradition. We look forward to addressing additional faith traditions in the future.
