Pregnancy Care Ministries
The North American Mission Board seeks to provide alternatives to abortion by partnering with Southern Baptist churches, associations, and state conventions in ministering compassion and healing to women in crisis pregnancies through starting pregnancy care centers and assisting established centers in carrying out their ministries.
A pregnancy care center functions as an evangelistic arm of the local church and demonstrates the compassion and truth of Jesus Christ in practical ways to families and individuals with pregnancy-related needs. It offers alternatives to abortion in unplanned and unwanted pregnancies in a way that is neither political nor social, but spiritual. It is a ministry where members of the church who are passionate about the sanctity of life can make a difference.
Groups interested in starting a pregnancy care center are invited to email Ethel Stewart (estewart@namb.net) for information, on-site assistance, and volunteer training at no cost. We also invite existing centers that are working with local Southern Baptist churches to call and request information about affiliation. There is no affiliation cost for new or existing centers.
