The Sheltering Church Program proclaims:
"As the family of God in an unforgiving world, we pledge our friendship and care
to any woman in a crisis pregnancy, because God values her life and the human life she
carries.
"Therefore, we promise to the abortion-tempted woman that through our Sheltering
Church she can receive the resources she needs -- free of charge, if necessary --- to
avoid abortion's spiritual, physical and emotional pain and to find a welcoming family
among us.
"We extend Jesus Christ's forgiveness and healing to all who have been affected by
abortion, including the biological father. As Christ's family, we joyfully receive
children and affirm the goodness of adoption.
"We also pledge our time and money to support those efforts that make it possible
to extend this free offer of hospitality to threatened lives."
