Sanctity of Human Life Month 2024
January is Sanctity of Human Life Month! Thank you for faithfully standing for life and supporting the Birth Choice ministry as we continue reaching women considering abortion and empowering them to choose life. Below you will find tools and resources designed for pastors and churches wishing to observe the sanctity of life during the entire month or on Sanctity of Human Life Sunday.
Contenders for Life Mini-Conference – January 25th
This January, instead of our staff members speaking at local churches about the sanctity of human life, we are doing something a little different. On January 25th, 2024, we are partnering with nationally-known pro-life speaker and apologist, Dr. Marc Newman, and hosting a Contenders for Life Conference. At noon that day at Fellowship Bible Church in Jackson, there will be a free luncheon for pastors, church leaders, and teachers where they can learn how to teach the toughest sermon. From 6 PM to 9 PM that evening at Northbrook Church in Three Way, there will be a free apologetics course for all church members, where they will be given practical tools to make the case for life within their circles of influence.
To register for either free event, click on the button below. We also encourage you to spread the word in your church and encourage participating in the evening apologetics course! Below you can click a button to download promotional materials. For more information, call Tiffany at 731-453-8159 or email tiffany@birthchoice.us.

We also have several YouTube videos featuring stories from our own clients that you can share with your church! Click here for our “client stories” YouTube playlist.

Tips on Talking About Life Issues
- Don’t be afraid of controversy. Speak truth!
- Be sensitive and line your message with Christ’s grace and forgiveness. According to Care Net, four out of 10 women were regularly attending church at the time of their abortion. You may have someone in your congregation who feels shame and guilt for a past abortion. Be sure to mention our New Beginnings program that helps men and women heal from past abortions.
- When using numbers and statistics, use real-world examples to compare them so they make sense to your audience.
- Stay informed. Educate yourself.
- Check out the links below for some great resources for churches and pastors!
