Lois’ Lodge is branching into new territory and helping a wider circle of people affected by unplanned pregnancy — the families of our residents. Please take a look at our initial plans and consider if you can help us in this new area.

The Lois Lodge ministry is not limited solely to the issues and needs facing the young women experiencing a crisis pregnancy. It also extends to the parents and extended family members of these women.

Knowing the pressures and stresses that an unexpected, crisis pregnancy can have upon a family, Lois Lodge desires to better equip the family of the birthmother and birthfather for the challenges prior to and following the birth of the new child which will be a part of their family.

The objective of the new ministry is to provide support, information and training, within a Biblical framework, regarding the following…

1. General issues and challenges during and after a crisis pregnancy.
2. Key attitudes and perspectives in approaching and dealing with decisions related to parenting or placing a child for adoption.
3. “Need of the moment” concerns expressed by current and future grandparents.
4. Ideas and strategies for relating to and supporting their daughter and, if appropriate, the birthfather and his family as well.
5. “Traditional” concerns and issues, previously experienced by other current and future grandparents, in similar situations.
6. Opportunity to interact and network with others who can empathize and identify with their circumstances, as well as provide perspective from their own previous experience in a similar circumstance.
7. Information and referral to insure grandparents are aware of resources to assist them, their daughter/birthfather, etc.
