Elizabeth Ministry is an international movement designed to support women and their families during the joys, challenges, and sorrows of the childbearing years and beyond. Elizabeth Ministry's mission is to cherish children, encourage families, and build community.
Luke 1:39-45 is the Scripture story of Mary's visit to Elizabeth. The beauty of Mary's encounter with Elizabeth is that both women realized that they had found someone who understood and with whom they could share the marvel of what God was doing for them. As they shared their stories, they helped each other recognize God's will and the sacredness of their lives.
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 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, foster or blended families, fertility, and infertility.

Elizabeth Ministers are volunteer representatives. 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.
