God's Plan for Parenthood

Everyone likes surprises! But every now and then life can give us a surprise that can lead to great anxiety, like an unplanned pregnancy. If you or someone you know are experiencing a crisis pregnancy we want to come alongside you and show you God's love during this time. We're partnering with three networks in our city to provide helpful resources for you, your family and friends who may be experiencing a crisis pregnancy or may have questions about adoption or may need post abortion counseling.

To find resources for crisis pregnancy, adoption or abortion aftercare, click on the websites below. If you need prayer, feel free to send us your prayer request by clicking here, or call our prayerline at (281) 446-5725.

And remember, you can always find comfort in God's word.

 "For I know the thoughts I think towards you says God, thoughts of good and not of evil to give you a hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11

In the midst of what can be a time of uncertainty it's great to be reminded of "God's Plan for Parenthood".
