First Light STL
For Hope and Healing

In June 2002, a weekly support group was started for men who experience same-sex attraction. The group offers:

  • A time of teaching about the roots of their struggle and how they can walk in obedience to the Lord
  • A place to share the joys and trials of their journeys
  • An opportunity to pray for and spend time with other men who understand their struggle

In the future, we hope to add a similar group for women.

We believe that through the power of the Holy Spirit and with proper support, accountability, and biblically-informed teaching, greater sexual wholeness is possible for those who pursue it.

Struggling with Same-Sex Attraction?

If you are dealing with unwanted same-sex attraction, you are not alone. You may have prayed many times for God to remove your temptations. You may be wracked with guilt, wondering if God can or will forgive you. Or, you may be on the verge of wholeheartedly accepting a gay identity. If you desire to know more about God's grace and how to find peace, please contact us at FirstLight.

You do not need to be a Christian to attend a support group. We welcome anyone who is open to learning more about the practical help and freedom to be found in the Christian faith.
