Friendship, tools and resources to cultivate inner peace, support loved ones, and live an authentic, gospel-centered life.About this Event
North Star’s mission is to be a faith affirming resource for Latter-day Saints navigating sexual orientation and gender identity who desire to live in harmony with the teachings of Jesus Christ and the doctrine and values of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. INSPIRE 2027 (North Star's Annual Conference) is an invaluable resource for individuals who experience same-sex attraction or gender dysphoria and wish to live a Christ-centered life full of peace and joy. This conference is also a resource for family members, friends and Church leaders who wish to gain understanding and desire to support those who experience same-sex attraction or gender incongruence. Listen to keynote addresses, musical performances, and breakout sessions featuring church leaders, scholars, therapists, and entertainers from the Christian community. Additionally, we offer the ability to purchase conference recordings.
