Love Is: A Ministry for Teen Parents

Love Is Programming

For teen parents ages 13-21.

Our programming is designed to care for the whole family while allowing teen parents the opportunity to simply be teenagers.

By providing free childcare at every gathering, parents have space to rest, connect, learn, and build healthy support systems. Through partnership with trusted local organizations , we bring support directly to the families we serve.

Every gathering is intentionally designed to foster belonging, strengthen resilience, and empower teen parents as they navigate parenthood and pursue their goals.

A Place To Belong

At Love Is, we recognize the unique challenges faced by young parents and the courage it takes to raise a child while still growing up.

Twice each month, teen parents gather in a safe, welcoming community where they are known, seen and supported. Our evenings begin with a family-style dinner that creates space for meaningful conversations, relationship building and genuine connection with mentors and peers who care about them.

Through shared meals, laughter, games, craft activities, and moments, young parents are reminded that they are not alone. They gain encouragement, build confidence, and experience a community that believes in their future.

  • “Thank you so much for your support and company. You don’t know how much you help us and how your support encourages us a lot to stay strong. Its not easy to be a mom at this age but you all make it easier and help us look at the bright side. I don’t have words to express how happy and grateful I am with Love Is.” -Evelyn

  • “No matter what was going on in life I knew Tuesdays was the days I could let go. Love Is made sure I had everything I needed for myself and my babies. They were my second family! Love Is helped me stay on a path that helped me succeed in life! I am beyond thankful for everything that they have provided me and my family.”- Haley

  • “ It has never been easy for me to fit in and interact with others, but the mentors at Love Is made sure that I was included and participating. Even with my son, it’s very difficult for him to become comfortable with people but they included him and continued to interact with him despite that. The mentors at Love Is are so helpful in so many ways. They check up on you and offer guidance on matters of personal, spiritual, educational, or parenthood. Beyond just advice, they’re encouraging, helpful, and fun. I was able to establish friendships with other girls who were going through a similar experience as me and our kids became friends as well. Even though I’m not able to attend meetings anymore, I’m still in touch with the mentors and the friends I made. The meetings were the highlight of my month. I looked forward to them every month. My favorite things about these meetings each month were the crafts and the talks that we’d all have together. It really was a wonderful experience to be in an environment where everyone is so friendly and to be able to truly feel at ease around everyone.”- Cali
