Churches and community groups often ask Georgia Right to Life (GRTL) what they can do as a group to support the pro-life cause in their community. The answer to that question is, honestly, too expansive to list on any website. Each individual person has unique talents and abilities that they can use to glorify God and serve the fight for life. But, as a corporate body, we have compiled a list of 22 pro-life things your church can do in your community.

If you have suggestions for materials, specific requests, questions, or need assistance with any of these projects, please contact us at stateoffice@grtl.org and let us know how we can serve you in the fight for life.
