co-host, LGBTQ+ Youth Support Group
Amberly was raised in an amazingly loving and supportive home. The foundation of Christlike love while growing up helped her feel comfortable coming out (albeit discreetly) while still in high school. Having and acknowledging her queerness from her teen years has shaped Amberly’s life views as well as her views of the church, gospel, and her relationship with Jesus Christ.
Amberly loves supporting the youth, especially queer and church adjacent ones because of her own struggles at that age wanting to stay involved in the church but also to be honest with herself. She loves the monthly lift & love youth calls because as she says, “To know these kids is to love them!”
