Welcome
Welcome to Faith Maternity Care!
Our mission is to disciple and provide assistance according to God's word to young mothers who choose life for their baby.
Our desire is to provide the necessary life skills to empower young mothers to succeed and become self-sufficient as they choose to place their baby for adoption, or to parent their child, as we introduce them to a relationship with Christ.
Faith Maternity Care is a non-profit, tax-exempt organization supported by the donations of individuals, churches, and community organizations.
In Him,
The Team at Faith Maternity Care

Registration for our 5K is now open!
- 2018 5K Run/Walk for Life Registration Coming Soon
Mark your calendars for September 22nd for this years 5K! Registration will be posted by mid July so please check back. Please register by September 1st to ensure you get the right sized t-shirt. By registering online, you will be given a fundraising website you can share with family and friends. Prizes will be given out for each fundraising level and are accumulative. You don not have to fundraise but we strongly encourage it. We will also have the option of purchasing extra t-shirts for $10. You may bring any money raised the day of the race.
This year we added a friendly competition among our pastors (and youth pastors) called the Faster Pastor Award. For every dollar any paster raises, one second will be deducted off their time. For example, if a paster raises $1,000 then 16 minutes and 40 seconds will be taken off their over all time. This means the last could be first and the first could be last. The winner will go home with a lovely prize and all the bragging rights. Please note, the adjusted times will not count towards medals for the main race.
Sponsorships are available to anyone wishing to help but not participate or for local businesses. Contact Melissa at volunteer@faithmaternity.com with any questions.

- Baby Bottle Drive
Every year we hand out baby bottles on Mother's Day through churches who choose to support life by participating in our Baby Bottle Drive. Church members take home the bottles and collect change and then return them to their church on Father's Day. There is absolutly no cost to the church and you don't even have to mess with all the change, we will do that for you! Last year we sent out 911 bottles and reaised nearly $11,000! This year we hope to send out 1,000 bottlesw and raise $12,000. We can not do this alone, we need your help. Please email volunteer@faithmaternity.com to let us know how many bottles your church needs. We also have large bottles that can be placed in businesses or in the back of a church.
Every penny collected counts just like every baby saved counts!!

Bring your donations from 10am-2pm to our Non Resident Office, located at 500 Market St Suite 300 (3rd floor, last door on the right), Fulton Mo. We will have some cookies on hand and maybe even some give aways! Of course you should also listen to Spirit FM during that time as well, they will be playing games on air.

We will be serving soup and sandwiches from 11am-2pm for anyone who made a donation of any kind or volunteered in 2017. Feel free to bring a friend or co worker who would like to know more about Faith Maternity's work. Hope to see you for lunch!
- Its Tax Time
We know everyone is gearing up for the end of the year and starting to gather all of their tax information and we are too. In the middle of this year, we started using a new program to help us track donations and make sending out end of the year donation receipts easier. Everything has been entered in from July through December but we are having to go back and get the beginning of the year transferred in. Please be patient with us. We promise to have it done by the end of the year. We will be sending out donation receipts by mid January. If you gave over $100, you are eligible for a 50% Missouri Tax Credit and we will include the form you need to fill out. Please note, you will be mailing the form to us to sign and we will then send it to the state. About a month later the state will send you the final certificate you need for filing your taxes. You will need to collect copies of your canceled checks from your bank (front and back sides). Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions, it can be a bit confusing.
Please note, it is not too late to give! We still have tax credits available to help lower your tax liability. You get to count your gift as a federal and state deduction AND get 50% of your gift (over $100) as a credit on your owed state taxes.
