Christian End-of-Life Doula services differ from secular services. The Biblical answer to the question, Why do we die?, separates a Christian Doula from the secular. Christian service springs forth from the good news of the gospel and the hope of resurrection.

Small, supportive class sizes ensure every participant receives individual attention. Self-paced study is also available.
This program incorporates Biblical teachings, prayer, and the theology of death and resurrection.

“This is a wonderful ministry, a gift to both Church & world. The hope of resurrection is so much more than a vague ‘afterlife’: it is the reaffirmation, in God’s ultimate New Creation, of who we really are, body, mind, & spirit. The comfort of this promise reaches back into the darkest moments we humans can face. Thank God for those who bring this comfort where it is needed most.”
