A Virginia church has launched a new ministry aimed at helping parents of gender-confused children.
Burke Community Church, a nondenominational church in the suburbs of Washington, D.C., is embarking on a new effort called “Wonderfully Made,” according to The Christian Post.
The ministry’s name is inspired by Psalm 139:13-14, which reads (ESV): “For You formed my inward parts; You knitted me together in my mother’s womb. I praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.”

According to The Christian Post, the effort will minister to parents of kids who identify as transgender—a growing phenomenon for families who often abruptly find themselves entrapped in the unimaginable.
“Is your child struggling with their identity?” a description of the ministry reads. “We invite you to join other parents as we walk side-by-side in support, prayer, truth, and grace to help our children flourish in the way God designed them.”
“Wonderfully Made,” which will meets the first month of every month to offer support to these parents, was officially announced Sunday during “Unmasking Gender Ideology II,” an event hosted by The Christian Post.
Crystal Crum, a counselor and a women’s ministry assistant at Burke Community Church, said the goal of the effort is to help Christian families who might feel shame and aren’t sure where to turn if their children end up waylaid by gender ideology.
