OPTIONS COUNSELING
Trained peer advocates inform clients about all their options: parenting, abortion, and adoption, so they can make an informed decision. This includes education about fetal development, abortion procedure risks, and adoption information. We do not refer for abortions.
Abortion Healing
One-on-one or group support offers hope, healing, and restoration using biblical curriculum in a confidential and compassionate environment. If you or someone you know has had an abortion or have been affected by abortion, we can help you heal.
infant Loss
Our Silver Linings program uses biblical materials and offers friendship, hope, and encouragement to families who have experienced a miscarriage or infant loss.
Spiritual Support
Our Spiritual Support program includes one-on-one evangelism or discipleship. Bible-based studies are offered for clients seeking answers to questions about God and for Christian clients who want to strengthen their faith. Our greatest desire is for our clients to come to salvation in Jesus Christ, gain knowledge and understanding of God’s Word, and connect to a local church body where they can continue to grow, experience life transformation, and produce much fruit.
healthy relationships
This one-on-one mentoring program helps single women of all ages establish a healthy approach to God’s design for sexuality…emotionally, physically, socially, intellectually, and spiritually. This program helps participants realize that their past mistakes do not have to determine their future.
Men’s Ministry
We welcome and get to know a man and his situation, treating him with respect as we share solid truths on pregnancy options and responsibilities. We do this prayerfully, asking the Holy Spirit to make him a positive influence in the pregnancy and inviting him to parenting classes to help him gain the tools and confidence he needs to be a great dad!

Mandated Parenting classes
This program allows Hope Rising to educate, encourage, and equip families that have been requested by an attorney, court system, or Child Protective Services to complete a parenting program. Our clients are paired one-on-one with a mentor whose goal is to build a relationship with them, share the gospel, and help them become the parent God called them to be. Emphasis is placed on parenting skills, discipline, caring for their child, character development, and building healthy relationships. Upon completion, clients receive a Certificate of Completion.
