Beloved Arise is the first national organization dedicated to empowering LGBTQ+ youth of faith. Countless LGBTQ+ youth grow up in churches, schools and homes that are unwelcoming or unsafe. Many learn to believe they are broken and shameful – so they suffer from fear, depression, self-hate, and self-harm. Beloved Arise is a movement of love that celebrates the life, creativity and gifts of LGBTQ+ teens of faith. We create youth programs and experiences that empower youth, develop publications and creative campaigns, and advocate for the safety of LGBTQ+ youth in faith communities. Beloved Arise is registered as a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.
