For Churches

Be the place a mom in crisis runs to, not away from.

In a post-Roe world, the local church is uniquely positioned to be a space of warmth, friendship, and real help for women facing a crisis, unwanted, or unplanned pregnancy, and for anyone carrying a post-abortion experience. Starting a LI-V ministry is one of the simplest ways your church can step into that calling.

1
Ask your church leadership
Bring LI-V to your pastor or elders as a new ministry within the church, alongside your other outreach ministries.
2
Find your leader
One person organizes a monthly meeting, same day, same time, same room. That consistency is what makes it work.
3
Gather and grow
One church started with 8 people praying together. That group now sees 80 to 100 gather each month.
Educate and equip
Monthly gatherings for prayer, worship, and updates on life issues, with pregnancy resource leaders and post-abortion healing ministries invited to share.
Practical, hands-on help
Your group becomes the friend a mom can call: rides to appointments, childcare, meals, and help in whatever practical way is needed.
Real relationship, not just referral
This is friendship and discipleship alongside practical support, the kind of long-term relationship a resource center alone cannot offer.
The full process

How to start a LI-V chapter at your church

1
Meet with your pastor
Share the opportunity to have a defined life ministry at your church, one your congregation can call its own.
2
Find your LI-V leader
This person sets up monthly or quarterly meetings at the same time, place, and day each month, hosts a pro-life speaker at every meeting (we provide a list of speakers, always free of charge), and sets up ministry tables from groups like post-abortion healing and pregnancy resource centers.
3
Start a care team
Bring together women and men (women serving women, men serving men) willing to meet a pregnant mom in crisis for coffee or a meal once a month, reimbursed by LI-V, and be a phone call and a friend away, all wrapped in discipleship.
4
Get listed and get support
We add your church to LI-V.org and help invite people from outside your congregation to your meetings too.
5
Come see it in person
The founding LI-V group meets every second Tuesday of the month at First Baptist Church of Woodstock at 6:30 PM. Come see what it looks like before you bring it home.

Churches building a LI-V chapter

What started as one meeting at one church is becoming a movement across Georgia.

For Communities

Be part of the network moms can count on.

LI-V connects moms with an entire ecosystem of Georgia resources, not just one phone call. If your business, nonprofit, or ministry serves families, we would love to add you to that network so we can make a warm, personal introduction whenever a mom needs exactly what you offer.

What partnership looks like
We do not hand moms a generic list and send them on their way. When a need matches what you provide, we make a personal introduction, so your organization becomes a trusted name a mom already knows to reach out to.
Medical & pregnancy resources
Pregnancy resource centers, counseling ministries, and medical providers who can offer compassionate, judgment-free care.
Housing & maternity homes
Safe, supportive housing options for moms who need a stable place to land during pregnancy or after.
Community & local business
Employers, food pantries, transportation help, and everyday services that make daily life a little lighter for a mom.

For Individuals

You do not need a program.
You just need to show up.

Not everyone is ready to lead a ministry or run a business partnership, and that is more than okay. Some of the most meaningful support a mom receives is one person choosing to be her friend. Here is what that can look like for you.

Want to go deeper?
The most lasting way a mom finds real community is through the local church. If you are part of a congregation, consider bringing LI-V to your leadership.

Volunteer your time
Join a LI-V group, help at a monthly meeting, or simply be present. Consistency matters more than any special skill.
Give what is needed
Diapers, baby gear, and everyday essentials, or a financial gift toward the practical help moms need most.
Be a friend
Take a mom to coffee. Show up for a coffee chat, a listening ear, and a friendship that does not depend on a program.
Give financially → Ask how to volunteer

However you show up,
it matters.

Every phone call, every referral, every cup of coffee is part of the same story: a mom finding out she is not alone. We would love to talk with you about where you fit.

"He saw him and had compassion." Luke 10:33
