Has your life been impacted by a surprise pregnancy?
At Embrace Grace, we understand the challenges of facing an unplanned pregnancy. Feeling uncertain, isolated, and even a little afraid is normal. We get it - and we’re here for you. We truly believe you can have your baby and your dreams, too. While the journey may not always be easy, you are strong and will never have to walk alone.
Whether you are single or just not married yet, there’s a place for you in an Embrace Grace support group. You’ll make new friends, have leaders that will guide and empower you, and you’ll even get an amazing baby shower! Whether you choose to parent or place for adoption, we are in this with you.

Becoming a mom unexpectedly can seem scary. You might feel alone and maybe even lost on who to turn to. We know what that’s like - and we can help.
At Embrace Life, we know you have overcome many obstacles and hurdles as a single mom. You may feel like you have a hard time dreaming for your future, when you’re just trying to make it through the day. We get it. Even though this journey may not be easy, we believe you can still have your baby and your dreams too. You are strong and you don’t have to walk alone.
As an unmarried mom, there’s a place for you in an Embrace Life support group. You’ll make new friends in similar situations and have leaders that will guide and empower you. We are in this with you!

Mom Connect
When: 2nd and 4th Thursday of the Month 10am (Starting September 18th)

Mom Connect is a group devoted to encouraging and supporting moms of young children. Raising little ones is incredibly rewarding, but it can also be challenging and sometimes isolating. Mom Connect is a place to find connection, encouragement, and support as we walk alongside one another in motherhood. It truly takes a village—and we want to be that village for you!
This group is primarily for moms with children from infancy through age five, but we also love and welcome mentor moms (moms with older kids) and expecting moms!
We’ll meet on the 2nd and 4th Thursdays of the month from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM, with our first meeting kicking off on September 11th.
Let us know if you're coming so we can plan accordingly—we’d love to have you with us!

Ridge Women Study Groups
Monday Morning - A Study in Colossians
When: Mondays at 9:30 AM (Starting January 19th)
Where: Meeting Room 2
Leader: Linda Watson
What we think about Jesus matters. Our perception of Him shapes us—what we say, how we treat others, even what we think. If we paint Jesus as any less than who He is as supreme over all creation and savior of the world, not only does our theology slip, but the working out of our faith also suffers.
In this 8-session series, Louie Giglio will take us through the book of Colossians to help us form a complete picture of Jesus. What we believe about Him influences everything from our corporate worship to our relationships to our attitude toward sin. Now alive in Christ, we can live a life worthy of God instead of falling back into the ways of the world.

Thursday Evening - Women's Home Group
When: Thursdays at 6:00 PM (Starting January 22nd)
Where: Barboursville
Leader: Margie Bomar
We want you to take Next Steps-
One of the most important thing we can do after recognizing our need for a Savior is to truly learn who He is—not just who we have heard Him to be.
We do that by reading about who He is in His Word. But the Bible is big, and it can sometimes feel overwhelming or confusing.
Our group wants to take the next step in following Jesus by opening His Word together—learning how to know Jesus for ourselves, how to talk to Him, and how to talk about Him with our friends and family.
Come as you are. You have no one to impress and nothing to prove—only everything to gain.
Saturday Morning - Find Your People
When: Saturdays at 9:00 AM (Starting January 24th)
Where: Meeting Room 1
Leader: Cindy Lewis
You Aren't Alone in Feeling Alone
Never in the history of civilization have we been more connected and felt more alone. We are all so lonely. What if the ways we have set up our lives are fundamentally broken?
In the Find Your People video Bible study, bestselling author Jennie Allen looks at the original community in Genesis, the Trinity, and the creation of people to see what God had planned for us all along, Jennie offers practical solutions for creating true community in a world that's both more connected and more isolating than ever before.
