Our Mission
We exist to empower mothers facing unexpected pregnancy by providing them with a loving family environment, safe housing, mentorship, and the resources they need to choose life with confidence and build a brighter future.
What We Provide
Imago Dei's Maternity Home is available to help women facing unexpected pregnancy and navigate all the overwhelming challenges ahead. We help by providing a family atmosphere with connections to local resources, nutritious meals, birthing classes, maternity clothes, mentorship and more!
What To Expect
The Maternity Home house parents and staff live in the home with residents. This helps them get to know each woman in order to best meet her individual needs and fill the role of making the home feel like a supportive family. Transportation is available to and from all pregnancy related appointments.
We aim to focus on every resident’s emotional, physical, and spiritual needs. Meeting one-on-one for discipleship, to discuss goals, options, and feelings. Providing healthy food & exercise, a stress-free environment, labor & birth education, and newborn care classes. Participating in weekly church services and Bible studies. Every family has ups and downs, but we’re also here for each other and know how to have fun together!
- Emotional support through one-on-one mentorship
- Physical support with meals and prenatal care
- Spiritual support through Bible study and church

- We do not have the training or resources to provide addiction or mental health support, beyond mild depression or anxiety. We recommend Core Health as a local resource for you in this area.
