Most churches advocate life and discourage women from getting abortions, but once a brave and courageous girl chooses life, a lot of times the church then steps away and has nothing to offer her for support at that point. She is then left with nine months of being scared, worried and feeling alone. She journeys into a season of being a single mom without direction and guidance from a spiritual family. This is where the Body of Christ can minister to women who are desperately searching for a Savior. This is where we can speak into their lives and hearts that will have an impact for generations to come!
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Embrace Grace
Embrace Grace is a one semester program offering a support system, providing spiritual, emotional and physical support for single, young women experiencing an unplanned pregnancy. The Embrace Grace DVD curriculum paired with the Embraced by Grace Study Guide conveys the heart of God through simple, yet powerful lessons about God’s love and grace for each of us. Whether a single, young woman with an unplanned pregnancy was raised in church or has never heard the message and hope of Jesus, she will encounter God in a way she never has before.
Embrace Life
The two semester Embrace Life program is designed to offer support and community for single, young moms. They are encouraged to bravely and boldly launch into the purpose and adventure God has for their lives. Presented with the truth that God cares about every spiritual and practical detail of their lives, they can navigate every detour and victory resting in the provision of God. They can view every circumstance as an opportunity to share their unique, God-given gifts and stories with the world around them—leaving a legacy of bravery, hope and adventure for their children and grandchildren!

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
VISION: for every girl with an unplanned pregnancy to have a church to go to for spiritual, emotional and physical support
MISSION: to inspire and equip the church to love on single and pregnant young women and their families
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
We provide curriculum and resources for the church to implement our programs and become a Pro-Love church. If the church, the Body of Christ, will join together to support these girls who choose life, young moms will be more open to not aborting their babies
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
We have to programs to offer churches, both of these programs include DVD curriculum, study guides, free online training for the women who will be leading the group. We are a unique program in that we provide Group Managers to help walk the small group leaders through any questions or concerns that they may have through the course of their semester.

Balance sheetFiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31
SOURCE: IRS Form 990
The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
