GROUP FAQs

Local Twelve 12 groups are co-founded by at least 2 women who are compassionate Christ-followers eager to share their faith with their peers, build a community of support for women walking through infertility and pregnancy loss and have the support of their local church in their area.

Twelve 12 Ministries aims to create a safe environment for women to seek, learn, and gather in-person, in small groups, large groups or one-on-one. Many Twelve 12 groups meet at a host church, neutral location or group leaders home.

Twelve 12 Ministries support group attendees are women who are struggling to conceive with infertility, being barren, or suffering a loss through miscarriage, stillbirth or abortion. You will find women who may or may not have living children, going through infertility treatments or learning to navigate life childless.

At Twelve 12 Ministries, we welcome women of all faith backgrounds and intentionally design our groups to best meet the needs of women exploring Christianity for the first time or the first time in a long time while maintaining space for strong Christian leaders to build community with everyone in attendance.

Twelve 12 Ministries groups usually meet once a week for 8 to 12 weeks in the fall and spring. 

Twelve 12 Ministries groups can be sponsored by a church, individual(s), or a corporation; however every group must have a church partner willing to provide leadership support to local Group Leaders and the ability to welcome new women into their church body.

We are going to help you recruit volunteers, launch the group, supply you with social media and communications support and train all of your leaders on the most effective way to serve in your context. This includes, but is not limited to, regular and on-going coaching from the HQ staff, and a whole website devoted to online training.
