A leaked small group training video from North Point Community Church shows a church ministry director instructing small group leaders to use affirming language with transgender tweens and teens, advising them to use their new names and personal pronouns because if everyone else in that child’s life is affirming them, “we cannot be the last place a (trans) student feels comfortable.” North Point Community Church, under the approving eye of lead pastor Andy Stanley, has been embroiled in a series of related scandals for years, with pastors and ministry leaders routinely promoting and promoting gay-affirming LGBTQ ministries and ideologies. Debbie Causey is a long-tenured North Point Community Church pastor and the director of their Care network of ministries. Years ago, after her son came out as gay, she wrote the book The Big Reveal: Loving Your LGBTQ+ Child While Strengthening Your Faith, which details her experiences handling her son’s revelations. Prominent gay activist Justin Lee wrote the forward of her book, and she has his endorsement on her website. Causey speaks at pro-LGBTQ+ events such as Q Christian Fellowships and has been one of the primary drivers of LGBTQ acceptance in the church. In fact, she and other leaders at North Point are board members of a pro-LGBTQ+ activist and advocacy group called Renovus, which seeks to promote and reinforce LGBTQ-Christianity as fully agreeable into the body of Christ.
