Anglicans for Life


The Anglicans for Life Chapter at Christ Church exists to

  • provide ways for Christians to better understand and share the message that life is sacred and
  •  to provide those with a crisis pregnancy, or suffering from post-abortion syndrome,

a place and people to turn to for urgent help.

 
 

 We in AFL thank everyone at Christ Church Vero Beach who participates in the events,

volunteers at Care Net, and provides funds to buy signs and literature as

well as training for volunteers. Please continue to pray for God's help in our cause

to protect human life in our community and in Florida.

CARE NET MINISTRY

Pregnant Women can Turn to Care Net for Help.

772-569-7939 (call for an appointment or more information)

800-712-4357 (a 24-hour hotline for urgent help)


51% of women agree that churches do not have a ministry prepared to discuss options during a crisis pregnancy. With the help of Care Net Pregnancy Center, women and families in our community can receive services specific to their pregnancy related needs.

As a pregnancy resource center, they provide free, confidential, counseling to individuals and families about options, medical grade pregnancy tests and ultrasounds.


Care Net offers help for families whose unborn child has a diagnosis of fetal abnormality and for miscarriage.

 

Post-Abortion Help Also Offered Through Care Net. Care Net offers a compassion-driven program called Surrendering the Secret (STS). This program brings healing to those who have had an abortion.

"If you are a man or woman with abortion in your history, you may benefit from an abortion healing program.  Symptoms common to post abortion are:  Anger issues, addictions, anxiety and depression, discomfort around children or babies, suicidal thoughts and actions, sleep disturbance, sexual and relationship problems, difficulty making decisions."

Resources include: Rachel’s Vineyard Ministries and Surrendering the Secret at CareNet.

OUR MISSION 

 

Anglicans for Life mission is to encourage, equip and empower Christ Church Vero Beach to

fulfill Scripture’s mandate to protect the vulnerable, defend the fatherless and plead for the

widow. The purpose of our Chapter is to bring the Anglican Communion and the wider body

of Christ, who value the authority of Scripture and the sanctity of life, into an organized

fellowship that will advocate for life within the local church body and provide a much needed

life-affirming ministry in the local community. This is expressed by members of AFL who

will, in a setting where life affirming ministry is often misunderstood and considered

optional in the Church, make it plain that life issues are Gospel issues, and that, in Jesus

Christ, God’s promises of forgiveness, hope, provision and healing are available for all.
