Care & Support

Embrace

Embrace Grace, Embrace Legacy, and Embrace Life are Christ-centered communities that support young moms and dads through encouragement, faith, and meaningful relationships.

For young moms

Embrace Grace

Unexpected pregnancy can feel overwhelming, especially for a teenage girl trying to navigate what comes next. Embrace Grace creates a safe and supportive community where young moms can find encouragement, practical support, and people who genuinely care about them. Our desire is for every young woman to know she is loved by God, valued, and never alone in her journey. Through relationships, mentorship, and community, we help young moms move forward with hope and confidence.

For young dads

Embrace Legacy

Embrace Legacy is designed to support young fathers as they step into the responsibility of parenthood. We believe dads matter, and we want to help young men grow into confident leaders, supportive fathers, and men of character. Through mentorship, community, and honest conversations, this ministry helps young dads feel encouraged and equipped for the road ahead. Our goal is to help them build strong foundations for themselves and their families.

For moms of teen parents

Embrace Life

When a teenager experiences unexpected pregnancy, the entire family walks through it together. Embrace Life is a ministry for the mothers of teen parents, offering encouragement, support, and community during a season that can feel emotional and uncertain. This ministry creates space for moms to process, connect with others who understand, and be reminded that God is still at work in their family’s story. We want every family to feel supported, strengthened, and filled with hope for the future.

Need To Know

Common Questions

Who is Embrace Grace for?

Embrace Grace is for girls and young women navigating unexpected pregnancy. Most of the girls in our group are between the ages of 13–25.

Can I still attend if my due date is approaching?

Absolutely. We still want you to be part of the group, and we’ll help you stay connected and catch up on anything you miss after the baby arrives.

Do I have to be a part of ECISD?

No. While we do partner with ECISD for resources and support, you do not have to be connected to ECISD to be part of Embrace Grace. We would love for you to join us no matter where you’re from.

Can my boyfriend come with me?

Yes. We have a group for young dads called Embrace Legacy, and we would love for him to be part of it too.

Can my mom come with me?

Absolutely. We also offer Embrace Life, a group for the mothers of teen parents where they can connect with other women walking through similar situations.

Do I have to eat dinner before?

Nope! Dinner is provided each week, so come hungry and let us take care of that for you.

Can I still come if I’ve missed the first gathering?

Yes. We would love for you to jump in at any point during the semester. Even if you missed the beginning, there’s still a place for you here.

What is princess day?

Princess Day is a special day where we celebrate you and remind you how deeply loved and valued you are. We’ll do maternity pictures and spend time encouraging you as a daughter of Jesus who is chosen, loved, and accepted.

When is the baby shower?

Our baby shower takes place at the end of the semester. It’s a special time where we get to celebrate you and gift you with helpful items as you prepare for motherhood.
