Our services
JMJ Maternity Homes receives donations from the community in many different forms. These donations help to maintain a healthy lifestyle, diapers, clothing, bassinets, strollers, beds, furniture, and other household items that may be utilized as they transition into independent living.
- We build and implement programs to promote overall health and address the practical needs of mothers such as counseling, education, parenting skills, and life skills.
- We rejoice in the gift of human life in all stages from conception until natural death.
- We do not recommend, provide, or refer for any means of abortion at any stage nor do we recommend, provide, or refer for any artificial contraceptives.
- We preach, teach, and live sexual integrity as a positive lifestyle choice. If one is single, sexual integrity is refraining from sexual relations in all its forms. In marriage, sexual integrity means saving the intimacy of sexual relations solely for one's spouse.
- We celebrate adoption as a courageous, life-giving choice for some mothers. We promote adoption information and facilitate relationships with adoption agencies, with a preference for Christian-based agencies.
- While we understand that marriage between a man and a woman creates the ideal environment for raising children, we recognize that many women must face motherhood alone. We acknowledge that single parenthood is often a mother’s heroic response to challenging life circumstances.
- We uphold and honor fatherhood and promote the healthy involvement of a father in the lives of their child(ren)
- We witness the Christian faith freely, embracing a charitable spirit of invitation, not coercion.
- We respect the truth-filled wisdom of related fields of work including homeless providers, addiction recovery, trauma and abuse, and others.
- We work in partnership with other life-affirming missions to provide seamless care for pregnant women in need of support.
Shelter
We at JMJ Maternity Homes believe everyone deserves a safe and supportive place to call home. Ladies who enter our home receive a private room to share with their new born baby and other children.
We think sometimes that poverty is only being hungry, naked, and homeless. The poverty of being unwanted, unloved, and uncared for is the greatest poverty. We must start in our own homes to remedy this kind of poverty
