Mountain Area Pregnancy Services (MAPS), provides compassionate care to women and men dealing with issues surrounding an at risk pregnancy. Our client advocates are specially trained to deal with these distinctive problems for those facing this issue at their POINT OF CRISIS. The impact goes beyond just the man and the woman but can extend to family, friends and others. An unplanned pregnancy is often an unwanted pregnancy and those involved may feel as if abortion is the only choice. MAPS exists to provide women and men accurate information on their choices in a compassionate environment.
Our parenting education program supports parents of all ages, including teenagers, with the necessary information and tools to flourish in relationships, life-skills, and parenting.
In addition to pregnancy care and education, MAPS offers grief care services for those who have lost a child due to miscarriage, still birth, newborn death, or abortion. Support services are also provided to those families facing a devastating diagnosis for their child. For families who choose to continue the pregnancy in the face of this life altering news it can be a long and challenging journey. MAPS offers a pathway through this grief journey with HOPE, support, and compassion!
At East Fork, we are excited to partner with MAPS in various ways.
1: Prayer-as a church, we commit to praying for MAPS and the families that are served by this amazing ministry.
2: Financially-both as a regular gift from our church as well as special fundraisers such as the Baby Bottle program.
3: Physically-as MAPS continues to prepare to open the new center in Waynesville and once the center is open, we will take regular opportunities to help in any way we can.
