As Christ-followers, we are called to love, serve, and affirm every life, and our Affirming Life ministry helps equip our church to come alongside women facing unexpected pregnancies, moms and dads who’ve chosen to keep their babies, and those experiencing ongoing guilt or grief from a past abortion. We partner with two agencies in our community that work through women's clinics to reach abortion-minded women, encouraging them to have their babies by providing free ultrasounds, counseling, and support. Support programs for these two organizations, Caring Network and the Evangelical Child & Family Agency (ECFA), include throwing a baby shower for an expectant mom, one-on-one mentorship, and provision of much-needed supplies such as diapers, formula, etc.
The Compass Church also hosts an Affirming Life event annually, with our local partners, to bring into the light the darkness of abortion practices in Illinois; to elevate every life is sacred, holy, and precious; and to introduce our church to ways to get involved.
