Our Mission of Hope
Embrace aims to serve individuals and families with the love of Christ, empowering them to:
- Choose life
- Practice sexual integrity
- Experience physical, emotional, and spiritual wholeness
The mission is further articulated as demonstrating unconditional love and support in practical ways to women and men facing unexpected pregnancies and crises of sexual health.
Our Empowering Vision
Embrace provides compassionate pregnancy support because every life has value. Serving women and families in the Wichita, Derby, and surrounding areas, they can build hope through our free pregnancy tests, ultrasounds, and confidential counseling.
At the heart of Embrace’s mission is sharing the truth and love of Jesus Christ, helping many hear the gospel for the first time and choose life for their unborn children.
In fact, 85% of those considering abortion change their minds after seeing their baby on an ultrasound. We support, moms and dads who feel alone and afraid can find hope and a brighter future.
Our Faithful Core Values
Embrace is driven by a belief in the inherent value of every life, born and unborn, which stems from their faith in a Creator. This core value is central to our work and services.
Other key principles guiding our work include:
Clarity and Connection
A free ultrasound often marks the first time a mother connects with her unborn child. This powerful experience brings her one step closer to making an informed decision about her unplanned pregnancy.
Essential Support Systems
Mothers receive life-affirming options that value her life and the that of her unborn child.
Support and Resources
Parents receive encouragement to meet their family’s needs through our network of unwavering support services and timely resources.
Unconditional Love
You will experience unconditional love and help without judgment, offering all services at no cost.
Sharing God's Truth
We seek to share God’s truth, hope, and encouragement with our clients.
