Chapters
Elizabeth Ministry Chapters are groups of men and women within an organization that are commited to supporting the mission of Elizabeth Ministry International within their local community. Many are trained as Elizabeth Ministers in order to support other families within their community during times of celebration and times of need. Individual members and the organization sign commitments to uphold the sanctity of life and the mission of Elizabeth Ministry International.

Elizabeth Ministry supports a faith community’s commitment toward the sanctity of life. It is a way to reach young adults as they build their families. Elizabeth Ministry also provides a focused dimension to bereavement ministry and marriage enrichment. It offers wisdom in this age of reproduction technology, while building community.

We are always working to locate all of our chapters. Some chapters formed without sending us the Chapter Registration Form. If you have an Elizabeth Ministry Chapter at your church, please fill out the form below or contact us so we can update our records.

Everything needed to start and maintain an Elizabeth Ministry Chapter is available from Elizabeth Ministry International. Additional resources to assist individuals and families are also available. Seminars, workshops and retreats can be scheduled.

Elizabeth Ministers
Volunteers become Elizabeth Ministers in the areas they have experienced. For example, a woman who has twins would visit and mentor a woman who is pregnant with twins. Continued support is given throughout the pregnancy and after the birth. This support comes in the form of visits, phone calls, cards, prayer, resources and assistance. The areas of Elizabeth Ministry include, but are not limited to: pregnancy, birth, miscarriage, stillbirth, regretted abortions, infant or child death, crisis or special needs, adoption, fertility and infertility. Support is available for women, men and children. Mothers, fathers, siblings and grandparents can benefit from Elizabeth Ministry.

Elizabeth Ministers are volunteer representatives of a faith community. They are not counselors, but are present to offer peer support, mentoring and friendship only. No lengthy training is needed. Ministers are women willing to share their presence, stories, and experience in the hope that these will encourage another woman and her family.
