We believe a mother and child are created in the image of God, and should be treated with respect at all times

We believe a woman’s body has been perfectly designed by God for birth and in normal circumstances a baby can be born with no medical intervention.

We believe the mother and father are responsible for their own child. The parents should have the expert advice of the presiding medical care professional and make their own decisions on how labor and birth should proceed.

We believe a labor should proceed at its own pace. The speed of labor and birth should not be changed except or by mutual agreement of the mother and the presiding medical professional.

We believe even minor medical interventions during labor often lead to other more invasive interventions, and should be avoided whenever possible.

We believe a woman and baby thrive surrounded by the loving support of family and community. Our care and facilities will enable that support rather than hinder it. When that support is not available to a mother in labor, we will offer ours.

We believe each birthing experience is as unique as each woman in labor, and our staff will be responsive and flexible to the particular needs of each mother.

The Morning Center was founded in 2011 to provide free full-service pre-natal and maternity care to women in urban and under-served areas. It is a project of Samaritan Ministries International, a 501(c)(3) Christian charity. The Morning Center seeks to return charitable maternity care to a private, patient-centered model.
