Volunteer Today
Research indicates that every 37 seconds an abortion is committed. Southside Pregnancy Center is committed to fighting for the pre-born by offering HOPE and HELP to the abortion vulnerable women in our community. To do this, we need volunteer licensed registered nurses, ultrasound techs, patient advocates (PA training provided), and Baby Boutique/Elevate volunteers.
If you are interested in serving to meet the needs of women facing an unplanned pregnancy, contact Paul Dombrowski at (708) 346-9070 or email paul@southsidepregnancycenter.org.
Church Involvement
Here’s the TRUTH: We can’t do the work the Lord has given Southside Pregnancy Center to do without a strong backing from YOU, the local church. The best way to get your church involved is to get involved yourself—first! Then share your experience with your congregation and Pastors.
To date, we have many churches in the Chicagoland area partnering with Southside Pregnancy Center in the ministry work of saving lives and strengthening families. Contact us if you’d like to get your church involved!

Evelyn Stenzel, Pro-Life Teacher
Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves. Proverbs 31:8a
“I was unplanned, but I was not unwanted!” my mother exclaimed about her arrival into this world. Who could have known that this would become the impetus for Southside Pregnancy Center’s ministry Equipped!? My mother began her life as a refugee, her parents’ fifteenth child, and lived in extreme poverty. She knew how it felt to be extremely poor and looked down upon. She didn’t want others to go through the same thing. This became her motivation to reach out to others.
Seeing her example and being grateful for her life, I have always wanted to share the value of life. Although I could explain this from Scripture, I tried to explain it from other angles and also to reach those who do not have a high regard for God and His Word.
Beginning in July 2020, I commenced one year of training in the Colson Fellows Program. This program uses the biblical worldview as its standard as it familiarizes students with other worldviews, too. I participated in a webinar with Scott Klusendorf, an internationally known pro-life speaker. Then, in different presentations, he laid out how to logically, methodically, and thoroughly defend the preborn through biblical and secular reasoning. That was it! A flame was lit, and I knew I wanted to pursue this with all my heart!
After about a year and a half of researching pro-life resources and teaching several class sessions on this at my church, Southside Pregnancy Center asked me to give these presentations under their umbrella. Another year and a half later, I asked Illinois Family Institute to join in this endeavor, furthering the reach of Equipped! This joint pro-life education project is for pre-kindergarten through adult.
Equipped! teaches children the humanity and God-given value of the preborn through Scripture and science. Children are allowed to hold preborn fetal models at various stages and learn about their development.
Equipped! provides teens and adults with:
- varied strategies and resources for learning about and defending the preborn
- understanding of what abortion is and its impact on the preborn, mothers, and others
- ways to support birth and adoptive parents and abortion survivors
- resources for bringing healing to post-abortive individuals
- means to share these things with others
By presenting God’s pro-life message to adults and children alike, I hope and pray that people will come to respect life as God does and seek to preserve it. To learn about specific presentations and resources, go to www.EquippedForLife.net.
