Courage

The Austin Chapter of Courage serves as a spiritual support system to help men and women with same-sex attraction live chaste lives. In helping individuals gain a greater understanding and appreciation of the church’s teachings, especially in the area of chastity, Courage extends the church’s invitation to a life of peace and grace. In chaste living, one finds the peace and grace to grow in Christian maturity. Contact us at 512.666.1043 or  austintexascourage@gmail.com.
