Western Pennsylvania Sexual Wholeness Network

Initially started in 2006, the Western Pennsylvania Sexual Wholeness (WPSW) network's mission is to bring together Christian programs (agencies, ministries, support groups, counselors) that specialize in freedom from homosexuality into a process of sexual wholeness. In doing so, they hope to improve the emotional, spiritual and educational support among such programs and to inform the community of their availability.

Their goals are to...

  • develop and distribute referral lists
  • discuss resource materials and program effectiveness
  • generate prayer support
  • provide information on network programs and events

He has a vision that the Church will one day not shy away from addressing the critical issues of sexuality.
