ABOUT LIFT+LOVE

The mission of Lift+Love is to support LGBTQ Latter-day Saints and their families by building a Christ-centered community of belonging and strength, with the express purpose of keeping families together, faith strong, and a deep and meaningful connection to the Savior for every single person.

What started as support for Mom’s of LGBTQ kids has expanded to meet the needs of all LGBTQ people, family members, allies, and church leaders. We provide free resources, including twelve monthly online support groups, research, education, podcasts, weekly stories from families with LGBTQ members, online suicide prevention training, Come Follow Me-based scripture study guides, and many gathering opportunities.

Lift+Love hosts Gather, the largest-ever Christ-centered conference for Latter-day Saint LGBTQ individuals and those who love them. Gather is a labor of love created by a coalition of Latter-day Saint LGBTQ organizations and individuals, bound by our deep love of and desire to strengthen connections to our Savior Jesus Christ.  Learn more about Gather Conference here.
