The emotional, spiritual, and professional health of pregnancy care workers has never been more critical. We believe no pregnancy care worker should do their lifesaving work feeling overwhelmed, ill-equipped, unsupported, or disconnected. The SUMMIT provides your frontline champion spiritual renewal, practical coaching, and invaluable community! Join us Wednesday, May 13 – Friday, May 15, 2026. Registration is OPEN! Register Now!
Pricing Details are available here
Additionally, we are honored to offer the Pre-Summit Fatherhood Bootcamp Training on Wednesday, May 13, from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm, with lunch included in the $40 Registration Fee.
Fatherhood Bootcamp:
“When dads do better, moms and babies do better.” This isn’t just a statement; it is grounded in the Bible and in secular research. Featuring three national fatherhood leaders, we will approach what ministry to dads in pregnancy centers can and should look like. There will be multiple “mini sessions,” ranging from intakes to options counseling, fatherhood groups to branding – plus plenty of “table time” to break down the talks further. And, we will host a live panel featuring dads from local pregnancy centers! Gear up! It’s time to take fatherhood to another level in your community.

2026 Summit KEYNOTE SPEAKERS
Session 1: Carolyn Doyle
President of Life Matters Worldwide and Executive Director of the Michigan Coalition for Pregnancy Wellness
Carolyn is an inspirational teacher, speaker, and leader who has dedicated the past twenty-five years to championing the truth that all human life is precious to God and should be to all of us.
Her passion for this cause is deeply rooted in her previous experience of 17 years at a West Michigan pregnancy center, where she served in various capacities, including nine years as Executive Director. This experience ignited a desire within her to see pregnancy center teams flourish spiritually, professionally, and relationally, enabling them to better serve the families who come to them.
Driven by this same passion, Carolyn was instrumental in establishing the Michigan Coalition for Pregnancy Wellness, where she currently serves as Director. The coalition plays a vital role in supporting, connecting, and empowering the work of pregnancy centers across Michigan. Additionally, Carolyn contributes her expertise by serving on the boards of Deeper Still West Michigan, an abortion recovery ministry, and Doors of Hope, an organization focused on breaking cycles of generational poverty and crisis. She also serves as a key consultant for Vision for Life, an Illinois Pregnancy Center Coalition.
Before her dedicated work in the pro-life movement, Carolyn spent ten years teaching High School and also served as the Assistant Director of an after-school program dedicated to supporting at-risk teenagers. Her upbringing on the mission field, with parents who ministered to diverse communities, provided her with invaluable training for her current journey in ministry.
Outside of her professional commitments, Carolyn is single and enjoys traveling. She cherishes spending quality time with her family, friends, and neighbors, and resides in Holland, MI.
