All human life is made in God’s image and is valuable to God. For those who have been affected by abortion, we believe true healing is found in Jesus alone.
The Sanctity of Human Life Task Force is committed to:
- Praying for those who are considering or have experienced abortion
- Advocating for the unborn with individuals, pro-life organizations, authors, and legislators
- Educating and mobilizing our church to uphold and defend the value of human life
The SOHL Task Force typically meets at church throughout the year.

Peaceful Prayer Monthly
Planned Parenthood Aurora is the largest abortion facility in the Midwest, where 300-400 babies lose their lives each month. Statistics show that when women see peaceful prayer outside an abortion facility, appointment cancellations increase significantly.
Each month, in cooperation with 40 Days for Life, we meet to pray on Saturday from 1-2PM outside Planned Parenthood in Aurora at 3051 E. New York Street. Park at AutoZone or Mariano’s.

Caring Network’s free pregnancy centers in our community offer pregnancy tests, ultrasounds, pregnancy consultations, resources and referrals, as well as counseling for women and men after an abortion experience. Caring Network shows the love and compassion of Christ, encourages women to turn to Christ, equips abortion-minded women to choose life, and offers access to baby supplies. Caring Network Baby Banks offer baby supplies to women who choose to parent but lack financial resources. The Baby Bank accepts:
- diapers (newborn to size 6, partially opened diaper packs also accepted)
- wipes
- baby lotion, shampoo, and wash
- diaper cream
- formula
Look for the donation crib outside the Sanctuary on the first Sunday of each month, and in the Commons lobby on all other Sundays.
Families choosing life in our community need our support. In October, College Church kicked off a year-round initiative to help stock our local baby bank. Read the article in October Connections for more info! Can’t get to the store? You can order from the Baby Bank Amazon Wish List!
Chicago Pro-Life Rally and March
Since 2017, College Church has taken groups to March for Life Chicago where we’ve gathered with like-minded churches and individuals to celebrate and take a stand for life. In 2023, we joined a new Chicago Pro-Life Rally and March that took place in June. Our plan is to continue to join in a public pro-life witness in Chicago each year so subscribe to our monthly e-News to receive updates.
