Special guest speaker- Teresa Hathaway

Teresa’s journey in the pro-life movement began in 2002 when she stepped up as a volunteer at a local pregnancy care center. Her passion for supporting women in crisis only grew stronger, leading her to accept the role of Executive Director at Assure Women’s Center in Cedar Springs in 2015. With deep compassion and unwavering dedication, Teresa believes that no woman should ever feel alone when facing an unexpected pregnancy. She is committed to ensuring that every woman has the knowledge and support needed to make an informed decision—one that values both her life and the life of her child. To her, this work is more than a calling; it’s a mission of hope, empowerment, and life.
