Healing After Abortion
Abortion affects so many lives through the often-hidden influences of guilt, shame, anger, or difficulty trusting others, and it can be a wound that time does not heal. In fact, it can take years before the full impact of an abortion is felt. However, no matter how long it has been for you, hope and help are within reach.
Our church values and cares about you. We would be glad to walk alongside you through prayer and healing opportunities within the church, as well as point you to other excellent resources in the Northern Virginia area.
Please reach out. There is healing, restoration, and freedom in Christ. All conversations are confidential.
