Throughout the year, Traders Point Family Ministries provides opportunities for parents of LGBTQ kids to come together in a safe, confidential environment to learn how to love their kids like Jesus. During this 12-week faith-based cohort, parents watch and discuss the Parenting LGBTQ Kids video curriculum provided by The Center for Faith, Sexuality, and Gender.
Each cohort is led by a parent or a couple of parents of LGBTQ kids who will guide the group through the curriculum. These facilitators will foster a safe and confidential space where participants can share vulnerably without fear of judgment. To ensure this space is a safe one, the cohort is limited it to include only parents of LGBTQ kids and youth. Any parent(s) of LGBTQ kids or teens can attend, whether or not they attend Traders Point Christian Church.
We have held two cohorts so far and have heard such positive feedback from parents who have gone through it. One parent said:
"Prior to reading Preston Sprinkle’s book, and finding the LGBTQ Parent cohort at TPCC, my husband and I felt isolated. As Preston says in one parent video, “when a kid comes out of the closet, the parents go in.” We have always treasured Bible-based teaching at Traders Point. Having gone through the fall 2022 parent cohort together and my wife participating in the spring 2023 parent cohort to walk alongside other parents, we have met fellow Christian parents of LGBTQ+ children of all ages who can relate to our questions while still grounding us in the teaching of the Bible. Preston Sprinkle outlines biblical teaching while reminding us of God’s love for everyone. Through hearing parent testimonials, we heard how adult children remained in or came back to their faith in God."
