An Extension of the Local Church
At New Life Family Services, we serve as an extension of the local church. The services we provide are valuable to our communities, and they would not be possible without long-term partnerships with local churches. We are excited to see how God will use us to change hearts, save lives, build families, and restore hope together.
A partnership between your church and New Life is not only beneficial to the clients we serve, but also to those in your congregation who may be experiencing an unplanned pregnancy or healing from a past abortion.
One of our church relations staff would love to meet you, give you a tour of one of our centers, and talk to you about the different ways to come alongside our ministry.

Note to Pastors
Speaking about abortion and the sanctity of human life can be difficult, especially from the pulpit. We know it is important, however, that your congregation hears that there is grace and forgiveness for those facing an unplanned pregnancy and for those who have abortion as a part of their story.
If you want to be equipped to address these topics with both honesty and compassion, we invite you to contact our church relations staff for resources and access to pastor trainings.
