1. Pray. Support the Life Center and its staff with your prayers. Include in your prayers a plea that you be granted a full measure of wisdom in discerning how you can act further to support Alpha’s ministry.

2. Be a Receptionist. Receptionists greet visitors as they arrive at the center and record basic information such as the client’s name and address. Perhaps she offers to watch children while moms talk with counselors. General office tasks, such as answering the phone and scheduling appointments, clerical help including thank you writing, and light housekeeping duties are her responsibility only as she is willing. Open hours vary five days per week. Time commitment: a 3 hour shift anywhere from once a month to once a week, plus a staff meeting 2 times a year.

3. Be a Counselor. The basic duties of the counselor are to meet and counsel the clients at the center, and to follow up with phone calls and/or letters of encouragement. The counselor offers scriptural based counseling on topics such as chastity, living together, parenting, adoption, abortion, marriage, baptism, and God’s plan of salvation. The counselor’s goals include: making the client aware of her spiritual needs; sharing the good news of Jesus Christ; calming the client’s anxiety by showing Christian love and concern; and educating the client about pregnancy and abortion. Office hours vary five days per week. Time commitment: a 3 hour shift from once a month to once a week, plus 3 staff meetings per year.

4. Be a Hotliner. These dedicated women answer our 24 hour hotline during the hours the center is closed. The calls are forwarded to the hotliner’s home phone. The hotliner answers the phone during her scheduled shift, takes down the appropriate information from the caller, gives directions to the center and schedules appointments. Time commitment: one or more days/nights a month in your own home, plus a staff meeting 2 times a year.

5. Serve on our Board. These men are responsible for the administrative dealings of our Chapter and Life Center. Beside chair, treasurer and secretary, positions include property manager, recruitment, congregational liaison, fundraising, public relations and special events directors.

Book Sale: A number of copies of the book Angel in the Waters have been donated to the Center. The entire purchase price of $7 per book benefits the Center when the book is purchased from our receptionist.

"In its mother's womb, a tiny baby grows, explores the waters, and talks with the angel who is there." The gentle illustrations (by Ben Hatke) and wise words (by Regina Doman) tell the story of that baby and the angel in the waters . . . a story that's sure to delight all young children, because the journey from conception to birth is their story, too.
