CHURCH PARTNERSHIP
Providing Community Connection To Women & Families
Why do we partner with churches?
We know we can't help everyone all the time, all by ourselves. That’s why we partner with local churches and stay informed on helpful community resources. While we’re focused on the pregnancy season of a woman’s life, there is so much more to a person’s ongoing journey that matters to us, too.
We want to partner with you to connect people to ongoing support and community, so they can have a fully supported life after they leave our doors. Your church has the power to bring hope and help to women, men, and families in our community. Together, we can make sure no one walks through an unplanned pregnancy alone.
What Is Church Partnership?
Church partnership is about living out the call to “love your neighbor” in tangible, practical ways. Whether you’ve walked alongside us for decades or are just beginning to connect, PSS is here to equip your church to extend compassion, resources, and community to families in need.
Ways We Partner Together:
Have PSS Speak at Your Church
Invite us to share during Sanctity of Human Life Sunday (or any Sunday) through a message or info table.
Host a Baby Bottle Fundraising Campaign
A fun, hands-on way for your congregation to support families—fill baby bottles with change, cash, or checks, and see how small gifts add up to big impact.
Take the Compassionate Companions Course
Formerly called Making Life Disciples, this training equips your church members to walk alongside people facing unplanned pregnancies with grace, wisdom, and Christ-like love.
Sign Up for a Service Learning Project
Spend a couple hours with us! The first half is focused on learning about PSS and also about life-affirming approaches to conversations about pregnancy and abortion.. The second half of your time is dedicated to a service project; like cleaning, posting flyers, or making bracelets with inspirational words for our moms and dads.
How To Get Started
Partnering with us is simple:
Identify a Church Liaison
Identify someone from your congregation who can connect regularly with our team. They will work with the PSS Director of Church Engagement to ensure the partnership between your church and PSS is fruitful. They’ll attend quarterly liaison meetings and regularly communicate PSS news and opportunities to your congregation.
Schedule a Meet & Greet
Visit our center, meet our staff, and explore how we can serve together.
Invite a PSS Speaker
Let us encourage and equip your congregation by sharing stories of impact and opportunities for partnership.

Thank You to Our Current Partners
We couldn’t do this work without the faithful support of our partner churches. Thank you to the 30+ churches in Durham and Chapel Hill for being the hands and feet in our community! The local church has been the foundation of PSS's work in the community for more than 40 years.
