Directory overview

What it is

Restored Hope Network operates as a hub rather than a provider: a directory of member ministries, phone support, virtual support groups for individuals and families, online discipleship, HOPE Conference recordings going back to 2013, trainings and a newsletter. Its subject is sexual identity and gender from a traditional Christian position — resources framed around 'Speaking the Truth, Love the People' and trainings such as 'Same-Sex Attraction & the Church: Compassion without Compromise' — and it publishes testimonies of people who have moved away from a gay or transgender identity. That position is held sincerely and is contested: major professional bodies oppose interventions aimed at changing sexual orientation, and some jurisdictions restrict them for minors. A directory that lists this should say plainly what it is, so a reader seeking support around same-sex attraction can choose knowingly rather than discovering the framing after they have made contact. Pricing is not published.

GOOD TO KNOW

EDITOR'S NOTE: This is a contested listing and we want to be straight with you about why. Restored Hope Network is a coalition of ministries holding a traditional Christian view of sexuality, and some member ministries support what researchers call sexual orientation change efforts. Every major American medical and mental-health body — including the American Psychological Association, the American Psychiatric Association and the American Academy of Pediatrics — has concluded there is no sound evidence such efforts change sexual orientation, and that some people report being harmed by them, including worsened depression and suicidality. Many U.S. states and several countries restrict or ban these practices for minors. We list resources we know about rather than hiding the ones people disagree over, because these organizations do help some people and you deserve to decide for yourself. Read the disagreement openly, and if you are in distress, talk to a licensed professional as well as a ministry.
