Pregnant? Need help? You are not alone! 
"Do not be afraid, for I am with you; do not be alarmed, for I am your God. I give you strength, truly I help you, truly I hold you firm with my saving right hand."- Isaiah 41:10

• A little message from the editor of this website: There is help! You have a right to feel confused, scared, and like you have nowhere to turn. But I have great news for you: this is the hope you have been looking for! These resources listed below are MORE than willing to take you in their arms and help with every need you have through your pregnancy and much more. You need to know that churches are places of help and safe-havens. This is no coincidence that you came to this page; with the Lord there is no such thing as a coincidence. He knows you, and He loves you, I can promise you that. I have gone through struggles in life where it feels like “this is too much for the Lord,” “He does not care.” Sister, I can tell you our Lord cares; he cares more than we can truly comprehend in this world. His love is always greater. So, if you are still reading this, I ask you to say to yourself, “I am loved, I am lovable, I am worthy of being loved, and my child inside of me deserves to be loved too.” Please know you are never alone; you are loved! -Love, your fellow sister in Christ.

  A Safe Haven is a designated public place, such as a hospital, firehouse,
