Options + Help for Pregnant Women

If a woman with an unexpected pregnancy turns to your church for help, it's essential to provide her with physical, spiritual, and emotional support. Here are some resources and actions your local churches can offer:

Local Pregnancy Centers

It's crucial to know the locations of your local pregnancy centers, especially when dealing with unplanned pregnancies. These pro-life, donor-supported centers provide free pregnancy tests, ultrasounds, and a wide range of information about available support services in your community. Their goal is to empower women to make informed decisions that protect human life. These centers serve as the first point of contact, while the church is a long-term source of support and care.

Start a Support Group

Consider starting an Embrace Grace group at your church. Embrace Grace is a 12-week support group designed for women facing an unplanned pregnancy. Your church members can undergo online training and use the provided curriculum to lead and assist her throughout her pregnancy journey. Hosting a baby shower and giving baby items to help her get back on her feet can be part of this support. Ultimately, the goal is to guide her back to the heart of Jesus.

Financial Assistance

Unexpected pregnancies often come with financial struggles. You can explore options like financial aid, assistance programs, and grants to help her with essential needs and a financial lifeline. This support can include aid for child care, educational workshops, and access to healthy food.

Community Involvement

Involve your church community in supporting single mothers and pregnant women. Encourage members to provide a reliable vehicle, car repairs, assistance with housing, or rent payments. The importance of a strong support network cannot be overstated.

Spiritual Guidance

Offer spiritual guidance and counseling to help her navigate her pregnancy's emotional and spiritual aspects. Connect her with church leaders or mentors who can provide advice and emotional support.
By offering a holistic approach that combines physical assistance, emotional support, and spiritual guidance, your church can be a sanctuary for a pregnant woman facing unexpected circumstances. This approach ensures that she receives practical help and experiences the love and compassion of a caring community during this challenging time.
