About Our Organization:
Our Mission: To empower expectant women/couples to make informed choices so they can have confidence for labor, childbirth, and breastfeeding through physical, mental and spiritual preparation.
Our Vision: To provide excellent childbirth education with a Biblical point of view for those who need help navigating this important time in their lives.
Our Values:
- We believe in the Holy Trinity: God the Father, Jesus his Son who lived a sinless life, died on the cross, and rose again to give us eternal salvation, and the Holy Spirit who guides and comforts us in this life.
- We believe that life begins at conception and that conception, pregnancy, labor and birth are a beautiful picture of being born again.
- We believe that children and breastfeeding are blessings from the Lord, not burdens as current society portrays.
- We believe this ministry has been called to meet the childbirth education needs of expectant women/couples, for those planning a hospital, home, or birthing center birth.
- We believe that childbirth education is important to learn from a Christian viewpoint, avoiding techniques that conflict with the Bible. We teach effective comfort measures without teaching worldly/New Age methods such as hypnotism, yoga, or Eastern meditation.
- We believe that it is vital to learn techniques to increase comfort in labor and help labor progress.
- We believe that to make informed decisions in labor and birth, one needs to learn benefits and risks of medical interventions.
- We believe that financial, location, and time constraints should not be a barrier to attending Christian childbirth education classes, so this ministry will provide economical and convenient class options.
