  • Love. Support. Acceptance. Positivity. Hope. Faith-affirming, while respecting that everyone is on their own faith journey and individual path. Identity-affirming- recognizing that each person is a child of God with a unique personality and identity. The main focus of everything we do will be Jesus Christ.

  • Gather Conference is for LGBTQ+ adults & youth and those who love them (including parents, spouses, partners, relatives, friends, community leaders, church leaders, and allies). While organizers and attendees are primarily members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, church activity is not a requirement (see “What if I’m not active…?” question below).

  • Anyone who wants to be associated with the gospel of Jesus Christ in any way, shape, or form is welcome (including those who aren’t active in the Church). Active members, not-so-active members, members who have questions, completely inactive members, people who have stepped away or are taking a break from the Church, people who grew up in the Church but are no longer participating, Latter-day Saint adjacent friends… you are all welcome at Gather. Everyone of any orientation or identity, whatever your path - if you want to Gather, come as you are. You will be appreciated and respected, just as you are.

  • Gather Conference is the largest-ever Christ-centered Conference of LGBTQ+ Latter-day Saints and their friends, relatives, and leaders. Over 1,300 people attended our first worldwide conference in 2023 and we just keep growing! We are faith-affirming and identity-affirming, respectful of personal revelation, & supportive of all paths. See “Who is Gather For?” and “What is the Message/Vibe of Gather Conference?” sections above for more information.

  • We often refer to the main Gather Conference (held annually in Provo, Utah) as Gather Conference Worldwide to distinguish it from the smaller locally-organized Regional Gather Conferences.

    Gather Conference Worldwide is the original Gather Conference, which is attended by over a thousand people each year since 2023. We welcome attendees from all over the world to Gather with us.
