MISSION STATEMENT
DISCIPLESHIP
To help those who struggle with same-sex attractions and gender confusion to encounter the transforming power of Jesus Christ.
EQUIPPING

RESTORING
To help families who have child(ren) who are LGBTQ+ identified be restored by the healing power of Jesus Christ.
VALUES
DISCIPLESHIP
Minister to those who struggle with same-sex attractions and gender confusion.
This will be accomplished through one on one discipleship, support groups with other peers, and assimilation in a church that will invest in these individuals and walk alongside them during their healing.
EQUIPPING
Equipping the church body, church staff, church leadership teams, inner healing teams, and prayer teams on how to respond to the LGBTQ community.
We have a deep desire to address the youth in this area as well. If the church does not teach about sexuality, femininity, and masculinity, we can be sure that the culture will. We believe that the youth needs to know what the Bible says about each of these things.
RESTORING
Restoring families.
We want parents to feel empowered to fight for their children. We want them to be refreshed by the Holy Spirit.
We want to encourage them, that to fight for the truth of their child's identity is a good fight. We want to exhort them to keep fighting even when the journey is long and discouraging.
We want to equip them with practical tools and insights so they can be effective examples of the love of Jesus to their gay-identified sons or daughters.
ABOUT US
Pastor Angie Klein had a radical life changing encounter with Jesus Christ during her third year of seminary. Angie was living a double life as a youth pastor and living with her partner of six years. She encountered a question form the Holy Spirit that would shift the course of her life. With a weak “yes” to Jesus she was delivered from same sex attractions and left a homosexual lifestyle in the spring of 2001.
Angie has two master degrees from Bethel Theological Seminary. She has been pastoring for over 18 years and ministering to the LGBTQ community and their families for over 13 years. She recently moved to Bellevue, NE and started Fervent Heart Ministries to help churches biblically respond to homosexuality and gender confusion. She also ministers to families whose son or daughter are LGBTQ and helps individuals overcome same-sex attraction and gender confusion through encountering Jesus Christ. Fervent Heart Ministries also partners with Gather at The Table Ministry and Nebraska Family Alliance.

From there the two have seen God change people's lives through deliverance and discipleship. Courtney is an elementary principal. She shows the love of God by working with students and teachers each and everyday. She advocates for students by speaking against CSE and joining the fight to combat legislation that is harmful to children, families, and churches in Nebraska.

Isaiah 61:1-4
“The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me,
Because the Lord has anointed Me
To preach good tidings to the poor;
He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,
To proclaim liberty to the captives,
And the opening of the prison to those who are bound;
2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord,
And the day of vengeance of our God;
To comfort all who mourn,
3 To console those who mourn in Zion,
To give them beauty for ashes,
The oil of joy for mourning,
The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness;
That they may be called trees of righteousness,
The planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.”
4 And they shall rebuild the old ruins,
They shall raise up the former desolations,
And they shall repair the ruined cities,
The desolations of many generations.
