Seventh-day Adventist Kinship International (Kinship) is a diverse, multigenerational worldwide community of individuals who are connected to the Adventist community.
SDA Kinship is the only organization for current or former Adventists who identify as LGBTIQ+. Kinship is not a change-oriented ministry. Our mission is to create a safe community for those who find us. For some, this is an online community; for others, it is a face-to-face community. Much of this depends on the location of the member and how many other members are in their vicinity. Some members still attend Adventist churches and others have moved on in different directions.
Kinship isn't here to be a moral or religious belief police. We encourage everyone to have an individual and personal relationship with their God. It is also part of our mission to educate church leaders (pastors, teachers, and administrators, etc) to understand our community better and to learn how to create a safe space for us.
OUR MISSION:
Our mission is to provide a safe spiritual and social community to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex current and former Seventh-day Adventists, their families, and those who support them.
We are here to provide community and advocacy for LGBTIQ individuals with a Seventh-day Adventist connection, their families, and those who support them because of this important truth—everyone is created in the image of God.
