CareNet
Project Length:
12 Months
Scope:
National (U.S)
Overview
Care Net is a national nonprofit equipping churches and pregnancy centers to offer pro-abundant life care—holistic, Gospel-centered support that honors the dignity of both mothers and fathers and defends the rights of the child. With over 1,200 affiliated centers and a bold vision for church engagement, Care Net is pioneering a new model of life-affirming ministry that unites compassion, discipleship, and cultural transformation.
The Problem
The Church Engagement team at Care Net had a powerful vision: scale their impact by helping more churches partner with local pregnancy centers and mobilize more volunteers into life-affirming ministry. But they needed systems, strategy, and structure to make that vision operational. Specifically, the team wanted to:
Discover and onboard new churches at scale
Train volunteers efficiently and consistently
Provide churches with a clear, replicable on-ramp to meaningful service
They also sought help clarifying volunteer roles, strengthening internal collaboration, and supporting new initiatives like virtual prayer mobilization.
The Solution
ATG partnered with the Church Engagement team to co-create a scalable volunteer engagement infrastructure. Together, we:Facilitate an internal audit of all staff responsibilities, identifying bottlenecks and duplicative work.
Designed a church discovery and onboarding system that could scale to thousands of new churches
Built a virtual training and equipping process to help churches launch partnerships with local pregnancy centers
Helped write and refine volunteer role descriptions to clarify expectations and increase confidence at the local level
Launched a national prayer team initiative, helping create the rollout, communications, and training plan to support it
Established a volunteer engagement strategy aligned with Care Net’s pro-abundant life mission and staff capacity
This work was done in close collaboration with Care Net staff, ensuring sustainability and internal ownership from day one.
The Impact
The new virtual training system has now equipped over 200 churches to serve alongside pregnancy centers
The virtual prayer team has grown to 1,000+ volunteers, praying in real-time for women and families navigating pregnancy decisions
Care Net has now onboarded more churches than ever before, supported by scalable systems and aligned messaging
The Church Engagement team has clear tools, rhythms, and language for training, volunteer onboarding, and church collaboration
Overall, this partnership helped build a sustainable, mission-aligned church engagement model—positioning Care Net to reach hundreds more churches and thousands more volunteers in the years ahead.
