Respect Life Ministry Information
Mission Statement:
The Pro Life Ministry promotes the sanctity and legal protection of human life from conception to natural death through prayer, pastoral care, public policy and education.
To accomplish our mission we focus on the following:
Education: we strive to invite all in the knowledge of current events as they pertain to laws regarding the protection of human life through supporting pro life legislation.
Community Support: we reach out to those in need by partnering with local organizations that help support the following:
(1) Food - by collecting needed items suggested monthly by our local food pantry
(2) Baby items - we help the local Presbyterian Church collect diapers and wipes for local parents.
(3) Pregnancy Center - we have partnered with New Hope Center in Falmouth that offers guidance, classes, sonograms, baby clothes, and baby items to those needing help with a pregnancy so that they may choose life.
