The need is real

These aren't LI-V's own numbers. They're what national research shows about the women and families facing an unplanned pregnancy, and they're why we do what we do.

Who we are

A bridge between compassion
and action.

LI-V, Life Initiatives and Values, is a faith-based ministry that connects pregnant moms in crisis, and moms needing a post-abortion referral, with the churches and communities ready to be a friend to them. We believe every life has dignity and purpose, and that real love shows up with real help. Moms who come to us while pregnant are connected to a pregnancy center and guided toward a place of stability through real friendship, referrals to countless resources, and limited financial assistance where needed. We stay with moms through pregnancy, after birth, and for as long as it takes!

We started with 8 people around a table. Now 80 to 100 people gather every month united around one conviction: compassion is not just a feeling. It is a decision to show up.

"Who is my neighbor? He saw him and had compassion.
Which one was a neighbor? The one who showed mercy."

Luke 10 — The Good Samaritan
