Hillside is excited to partner with Exodus International to educate and equip the church body and to come alongside those struggling with same-sex attraction. Hillside is providing resources and assistance so that we as a church body can minister with compassion to the world around us.
What is Exodus International?
Exodus is a nonprofit, interdenominational Christian organization promoting the message of Freedom from homosexuality through the power of Jesus Christ.
Since 1976, Exodus has grown to include over 120 local ministries in the USA and Canada. We are also linked with other Exodus world regions outside of North America, totaling over 150 ministries in 17 countries.
Within both the Christian and secular communities, Exodus has challenged those who respond to homosexuals with ignorance and fear, and those who uphold homosexuality as a valid orientation. These extremes fail to convey the fullness of redemption found in Jesus Christ, a gift which is available to all who commit their life and their sexuality to Him.
RESOURCES
Listed below are some resources from Exodus Global Alliance (an affiliate of Exodus International) that will help provide a deeper understanding of same sex attraction.
