The Arbor House

Gainesville's Christian Maternity Home

Arbor House is Gainesville's Christian Maternity Home. The vision of Arbor House is to be used by God to help the members of the body of Christ provide emergency shelter, transitional housing, family support and counseling, and educational resources to pregnant teens and women in crisis. We also seek to provide discipleship opportunities for local church members as they provide outreach counseling and training in Christian family living.

Arbor House is a loving environment for pregnant women in need of a place to stay; regardless of race, religion, or financial status. We seek to help our residents discover the love of a family as well as the love of Jesus Christ.

What does Arbor House Provide?

• A place to stay staffed by Christian people who care
• Group and individual counseling by trained counselors as needed
• Referrals to educational resources
• Referrals to adoption resources (on request)
• Instruction in nutrition and childbirth preparation
• Assistance in applying for social service benefits from government agencies

Arbor House is a private, non-denominational, non-profit maternity shelter, funded solely by contributions from churches and individuals. Donations of time and money are always welcome.
