Supporting ALL LIFE,
from Womb to Tomb.

Our Mission

Effingham Area Right to Life is dedicated to protecting the sanctity of every human life through education, prayer, advocacy, and compassionate support for women, children, families, the elderly, and those facing difficult life circumstances. We believe every human life is a gift from God and deserves dignity, respect, and protection—from conception to natural death.

Our History

For more than 50 years, Effingham Area Right to Life has served the Effingham area by promoting a culture of life rooted in faith, compassion, and service.

Founded by local citizens who recognized the need to protect the most vulnerable among us, our organization has grown into a respected community resource dedicated to educating the public, supporting life-affirming ministries, encouraging prayer, and advocating for laws that protect human life.

Throughout the years, we have remained committed to bringing people together through community events, educational programs, legislative advocacy, and partnerships with organizations that provide hope and practical assistance to women, children, and families.

What We Believe

We believe every person is uniquely created in the image and likeness of God and possesses inherent dignity and worth.

When we say we support life from conception to natural death, we affirm that every human life deserves protection and respect at every stage—including the unborn, individuals with disabilities, those facing illness, the elderly, and every person in between.

Our mission extends beyond advocating for the unborn. We strive to support mothers, fathers, families, caregivers, and individuals experiencing difficult or unexpected circumstances through education, prayer, compassionate outreach, and partnerships with organizations that provide life-affirming care.

We believe building a culture of life means valuing every person, offering hope instead of despair, and walking alongside those in need with love, compassion, and practical support.

Our Impact

Through the generosity of supporters like you, volunteers, churches, businesses, and community partners, Effingham Area Right to Life continues to make a meaningful difference throughout our region.

Each year, we:

  • Sponsor educational programs that promote the dignity of every human life.

  • Organize community events that bring people together in prayer, fellowship, and support for life.

  • Support pregnancy resource centers and ministries that provide compassionate care for women, men, and families.

  • Encourage legislative awareness and advocacy on issues affecting the sanctity of human life.

  • Partner with local, state, and national organizations that share our commitment to protecting life.

  • Inspire future generations to become advocates for life through education, service, and community involvement.

Every prayer offered, every volunteer hour given, every donation received, and every life touched helps build a stronger culture of life in our community.

Together, we are making a difference—one life, one family, and one heart at a time.
