Ephesians 6:7 “Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not people, 8 because you know that the Lord will reward each one for whatever good they do, whether they are slave or free.”

These verses speak to our earthly work ethic and attitude towards our work. We are to commit our work as service to the Lord. Since the “fall,” we know that humans are required to labor in order to survive; for the majority of us, this means earning a wage to purchase the things we need. Work can be difficult, unpleasant at times, and it can also be incredible.

In my time with Alternatives, I have experienced amazing moments that I know were “God-ordained”.

Moments when I could see Him work, changing lives, changing minds, and hearts. I have also personally experienced very challenging situations that ultimately built my trust in God and His plans to grow me as His daughter.

Over the past several years, we have grown and gained greater clarity and perspective for the future of our ministry. Currently, we have several open medical positions and one non-medical position to be filled. These positions can be challenging to fill as they are a calling. We are seeking individuals who are passionate about the value of human life and sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ.

Alternatives is an exceptional place to serve the Lord-it is a place to use your God-given gifts and abilities to further the Kingdom while making a difference to hurting people right now.

Join us in praying that God will supply our need according to His riches in glory and that God will bring

people forward that He has chosen “for such a time as this”. You personally may not be seeking a new career, but you may know someone who is, and it is our hope that through our amazing community of believers, He will supply our need.

Thank you for your continued, faithful partnership in the Mission of Alternatives.

Cathy Stoner, Executive Director

Working at Alternatives means being part of something deeply meaningful—where your work directly impacts lives every single day.

We are currently seeking dedicated individuals to fill key positions, including our Kalamazoo Center Director, Battle Creek Nurse Manager, RDMS (Registered Diagnostic Medical Sonographer), and Clinic Quality Assurance Director. Each of these positions plays a vital role in ensuring that our clients receive the highest standard of care while advancing the life-affirming mission of Alternatives. If you’re looking for purpose in your work and a team that truly makes a difference, we’d love to connect with you.

It’s more than a job; it’s an opportunity to offer hope, support, and practical care to individuals and families.

Listen as a few of our team members describe how working at Alternatives has impacted their lives.

A young woman reached out to our front desk, asking for an appointment to obtain the abortion pill. With compassion and care, our volunteer gently explained that while we do not provide or refer for abortion services, we would love to care for her. She encouraged her to come in for a free pregnancy test and to talk through her options with one of our nurses.

The client agreed and came in for her appointment. She shared several reasons why she felt it wasn’t the right time for her to become a mother. She was guarded and unsure, not ready to open up fully—but our nurse met her right where she was. With patience and kindness, she listened.

Before leaving, the client agreed to return the following week for an ultrasound at our Kalamazoo office. While she didn’t express a change in her decision that day—and we may never know the outcome—we are deeply grateful for the opportunity to meet women in these critical moments.

Because of your support, each appointment becomes a chance to offer hope, truth, and compassionate care.
