Kindred Spirit Family
Kindred Spirit
Mission:
Kindred Spirit’s mission is to welcome pregnant teens with the unconditional love of Jesus Christ and receive them into a safe, supportive, and nurturing residential home environment, where they can experience God in all aspects of life. Working with community partners, we focus on educational fulfillment, parent and birth training, faith development, and life planning to assist young women as they grow in the next phase of their journey in God’s grace.
Purpose of Ministry:
Kindred Spirit was formed to reach out to pregnant teens so they may experience God’s love through living in a family style home and sharing community with Christian staff and volunteers. The teens stay in this residential care home where they learn the necessary skills to prepare for whatever comes next – whether they decide to parent or place their baby for adoption. The young women are offered emotional, spiritual and community support while receiving training and services designed to meet their short- and long-term needs.
