Mission Statement

Baby Steps Ministry (run through Pierce Point Community Church) supports families through pregnancy and the first year postpartum. Our mission is to connect pregnant and postpartum women, expectant and new fathers, and siblings with supportive resources and mentors in our church and community. We aim to increase family support as mothers prepare for and transition home with their new babies. We provide Stork Baskets filled with essential items such as diapers, wipes, postpartum hygiene products, and newborn care items. Individualized mentorship is available to anyone requesting a basket, offering ongoing pregnancy and postpartum support with an incentive pack of diapers and wipes offered with monthly participation in the program.

Description

Baby Steps Ministry was established in 2023 by a member of Pierce Point Community Church. A mom within the church saw the need within the church and community to better support families through pregnancy and postpartum. BSM started by providing stork baskets to expecting families with our community in Ohio. These baskets include diapers and wipes, postpartum hygiene items, and newborn care items. The program then expanded to include mentorship. Each participant in mentorship gets monthly encouragement via text, phone call, or letter (whatever works best and is agreed upon between the mentee and mentor) as well as initial stork baskets and on going diapers and wipes through the new baby's first year. When new moms and dads sign up, they can get a one time stork box or sign up for mentorship with on going diapers and wipes. In addition to our program, we offer additional activities to families such as community baby showers throughout the year and a moms group. As we grow, we hope to add more activities to support families within our community with the transition of having a new baby.
