Guiding Star Ministries is a home, located in the West Oak Lane section of Philadelphia, for single pregnant women and their children. Through counseling, group meetings, and a nurturing faith-based environment, we try to help our residents work toward total independence.
During their stay, mothers must pursue employment or education. Our aim for every resident is to build a solid foundation of faith and responsibility that will help them.
The Mission
The mission of Guiding Star Ministries is to provide shelter to pregnant women and their children and to educate pregnant women so that they may have a successful, healthy pregnancy, while creating a home that is structuring, nurturing and supportive.
The Vision
The vision of Guiding Star Ministries is to help our residents to become independent while developing discipline, responsibility and the work ethic needed to become productive members of society.
Our Difference
We house six to seven mothers and their children at a time, which allows us to build solid relationships with the families who enter our home. The residents may stay up to 18 months and work towards educational or vocational goals. Since 1992, we have strived to make Guiding Star an ideal program for women seeking to make a better life for themselves and their children.
