Embrace Grace
The Embrace Grace group provides emotional, practical, and spiritual support for young women who find themselves in an unexpected pregnancy. The mission is to be a safe and nonjudgmental place for these young women when they find out they are pregnant, instead of the last place they are welcomed because of shame and guilt. It is a 12-week Bible-based support group that teaches about God’s love and grace. At the end, the girls get a baby shower to honor them for choosing life and to help provide for their baby’s needs.
