Beloved Arise

Since February 2020, Beloved Arise has been on a mission to celebrate and empower queer youth of faith. We dream of a world where no one is forced to choose between who they are, whom they love, or what they believe. Instead, their queerness and faith are beautifully threaded together.

Beloved Arise is the only national organization dedicated to LGBTQ+ youth of faith. We lead social media engagement, virtual and national youth networks, multi-faith and spiritual resources, and now, a first-of-its-kind mentorship program. We know the power of cultivating relationships with queer youth of faith and building resources, programs, and initiatives to support their flourishing.

Beloved Arise has a plethora of thriving programs and communities that serve queer youth of faith: Queer Youth of Faith Day, our National Essay Contest, our Community Map, the Youth Alliance and now, a mentorship program designed specifically for queer youth of faith.
