North Star International is a community centered on Jesus Christ, offering connection, understanding, and support to LGBT individuals, their families, and Church leaders. Grounded in the teachings of Jesus Christ and the doctrine and values of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, we help people navigate questions of sexual orientation and gender identity while strengthening faith, deepening relationships, and building spiritual and emotional resilience—the strength to face challenges, hold on to hope, and move forward with faith.

We believe resilience grows as we turn to the Savior and find people willing to listen, understand, and walk beside us. Through personal stories, educational resources, conferences, and opportunities to gather, we help individuals find belonging, families nurture loving relationships, and Church leaders minister with greater compassion and confidence. These connections help us meet loneliness with belonging, despair with hope, and uncertainty with renewed strength.

Whether you’re seeking a place to belong, learning how to support someone you love, or striving to better serve those in your care, we invite you to connect with us. Bring your questions, your experiences, and your desire to learn. You don’t need to have every answer to take the next step. Together, we can strengthen faith, deepen relationships, and nurture the resilience to navigate these challenges with Christ. Wherever you are in your journey, you don’t have to walk alone.

Discover articles, podcasts, talks, and more—from voices within our community and beyond—that inspire faith, deepen understanding, and strengthen resilience.
