Exodus began over 30 years ago as a network of ministries who coalesced around the issue of overcoming homosexuality. Today, that ministry network has grown to include over 245 Member Ministries, Churches and Professional Counselors in North America, which is broken down into 13 Regions. Each region is overseen by a Regional Representative as shown below. Our Representatives serve their region in building the network in their region, and as well may be able to help you if you can not find a ministry in your immediate area.
Information for contacting each Region's Representative is presented below.
