• To celebrate and honor these parents’ brave choice to “embrace

special events and outings designed for their enjoyment
Our Group Nights:
Teen moms and mentors meet twice a month for group
nights. They enjoy dinner, socialize, listen to special speakers, learn
parenting skills, enjoy group time, and participate in crafts. The children are
cared for and taught the love of Jesus by volunteers in our childcare
room.Small Group Studies:
We provide further opportunities for our moms to grow in their knowledge of the Lord through small group Bible studies as well as encouraging attendance at other ongoing groups such as MOPS.
Outings:
Outings outside of group nights create deeper relationships with each other and give the moms experiences that they may not otherwise be able to have with their child. Visiting the zoo, pumpkin patches, children’s museums and The Lights of Christmas are just some of these special outings.
