Waiting in HOPE (WiH) Ministries
WE ARE: A national biblical infertility support ministry and a non-profit that ultimately points to Jesus as the greatest hope in and through our pain. We support the individual women, couples, and the local church to care for those facing this challenging season. They are not alone; we want to ensure they know and feel that truth.
WE AIM TO: Encourage, support, and embrace those struggling through the grief of difficulty conceiving. If you are dealing with infertility, miscarriage, adoption, or prolonged waiting, we desire to help you find hope. We are a non-profit that serves as an infertility resource to walk beside you and be a community through this tough season that is often filled with more negatives than hope.
We believe there is hope to be found during this season of waiting. We also know that genuine, life-giving help can come from others walking this journey together.
WE DO THIS BY: partnering with the local church to empower them to help, support, and care for the women and couples facing infertility or loss. Our partnership program provides all the resources, training, and curriculum for the groups currently; we have helped launch WiH groups throughout the country, consisting of support meetings for women, group dinners for couples, and day events. As well as an online community for those who do not have a local group in their area.
OUR GOAL: is that these groups and events would be a source of hope, strength, insight, freedom, and honest, heartfelt encouragement to those walking through what can feel like a very long and rocky path.
Please remember that you are not alone in this journey. We would love to have you join us in this ministry and allow us to come alongside you in your journey.
If you are interested in bringing a WIH group to your area or having your local church join the WIH Partnership to use our training, curriculum, and program, check out our GROUPS PAGE.

We WAIT IN HOPE for the LORD;
he is our help and our shield. In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name.
May your unfailing love be with us, Lord,
even as we put our hope in you.
- Psalm 33:20-22 -
What we believe:
STATEMENT OF FAITH
The Scriptures
We believe that the Holy Bible was written by men divinely inspired and is God's revelation of Himself to man.
The Godhead
We believe that the eternal triune God reveals Himself to us in three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, distinct in personal attributes, but without division of nature, essence, or being.
The Person and Work of Christ
We believe in the full deity and humanity of Jesus Christ, who lived as a perfect example, who atoned for the sins of the world at the cross, who was bodily raised from the dead and ascended to the right hand of the Father. We believe that salvation is found, by grace, only in placing one's faith in Christ for the forgiveness of sins and for right standing before God for eternity."
Marriage
We believe that male and female were created in God’s image that He might have fellowship with us. We believe God has ordained and created marriage to exist between one man and one woman.
The Sanctity of Life
We believe that life begins at conception (specifically, fertilization as opposed to implantation). Our creator is the only one who makes life and knits us together. Thereby, we believe that all loss is valid and meaningful regardless of situation whether miscarriage (molar, ectopic, early or late), stillborn, infant death, etc. Life is created thereby it matters to the creator, God. We know that within infertility our only true hope is found in Jesus Christ being enough and his Holy Spirit living inside of us. Even with the help of medicine and doctors, He is still sovereign over all.
