Women

If you are facing an unplanned pregnancy, we are here to help. Here are a few resources and opportunities.

• First Care Pregnancy Center offers comprehensive services, free of charge, including pregnancy testing, ultrasounds, pregnancy counseling and information, adoption services, referrals and resources, and parenting education.
• Join our Embrace Grace group. Whether you are planning to parent or pursue adoption, this group will provide a place for you to make new friends in similar circumstances and find hope-filled support and encouragement.
• If you would like to connect with a woman who has experienced an unplanned pregnancy, we are glad to connect you. This could be an ongoing mentoring relationship or a one-time meeting. E-mail Kirsten at if you're interested.

Embrace Grace provides emotional, practical, and spiritual support for single pregnant women, in their teens and twenties, who are facing an unintended pregnancy. This 12-week program teaches young women about God’s love and grace, and at the end, we throw a baby shower or an adoption celebration to honor them for choosing life and to help provide for their babies’ needs.

We use the program and curriculum provided through Embrace Grace Ministries. For more information about this program, visit embracegrace.com.

Embrace Life equips single, new moms, in their teens and twenties, so they can learn to flourish in their relationship with God and not only survive in life but thrive! These brave moms will learn spiritual and practical ways to help navigate their way through life so they can rediscover their capabilities, passions, and dreams. Embrace Life meets weekly and includes a fall semester (Sep-Dec) and a spring semester (Feb-May). Each semester ends with a Life Adventure Day focused on blessing each mom in a fun way. We use the program and curriculum provided through Embrace Grace Ministries. For more information about this program, visit embracegrace.com.

For moms who completed Embrace Life, we now offer Embrace Life PLUS. This group follows the same schedule as Embrace Life and focuses on spiritual growth (walking with Jesus in every day life), while addressing practical areas such as parenting, career planning, budgeting.

This nine-week confidential group is for women who have had one or more abortions and covers forgiveness, anger, shame, and the renewing of one's mind in Christ. We embrace each woman on her journey towards hope and healing.

• Mentoring

  We have the opportunity to mentor young, single moms who attend New Beginnings, a full-day high school for parenting and pregnant teen girls located in Chaska. We also mentor those who attend our Embrace Grace and Embrace Life groups. Our goal is to come alongside, provide encouragement, assist with developing life skills, and share about Jesus as a trusting relationship is established. Mentoring also involves:

  • Completing the application, interview, and training
  • Attending quarterly mentor equipping meetings
  • Meeting 2x/month with your mentee for a minimum of one year
  • Demonstrating patience as building a trusting relationship may take a while.

  If you're interested in becoming a mentor, please complete this form. This opportunity is limited to females, age 24+.
