Should pregnant teenagers still attend church?

My cousin is about 4 months along in her pregnancy and I'm wondering if I should bring her to my youth group or not. She's 18 and I'm not sure if teens there would accept her because of her current state.Should pregnant teenagers still attend church?
I think it is a wonderful idea. She needs love and support from a positive circle of people. Although your youth group leader should make it clear that premarital sex is not a good thing, nobody should make her an outcast for being pregnant. She may have made a mistake in having sex before marriage but God will forgive her (if she asks for forgiveness) and the people of God's church should not pass judgement because they too are sinners and have made mistakes. If she is committed to changing her actions and getting her life on the correct path for herself and her child (that means no more premarital sex) then she should not be looked down upon but supported. If someone in your church is rude to her or tells her she doesn't belong there then you should consider finding a church that is following the Bible's teachings on forgiveness. :)Should pregnant teenagers still attend church?
I think so. Teens need more support then ever when they are in that condition, and church is a good place to get that love. But even so, it couldn't hurt to tell the youth group that ';he who has not sinned may cast the first stone';.
Of course they will accept her. If you live by the bible you should forgive. Take her maybe she will find someone to give her some support during her pregnancy. This is a hard time for her, maybe she will find god and bring him into her and the baby's life. Good Luck
uhm yes. well i am not sure if they will accept her, but she is still god's child, and god understand's that people make mistakes. remember that everybody has there own beliefs
If she wants to then there is no reason that she shouldn't
Yes she should. God forgives her for making her mistakes and it would also be a good enviroment for her child to grow up in and also the church should support her and also her decision in going to church, as for your friends they should accept her regardless, especially if they're true friends and they are understanding and followers of God.
she's 18 thats not really that young anymore. and yes you should just because someone got knocked up doesn't mean God doesn't love them anymore.
yes. theyre was a young pregnant girl in my church and people werent happy she got pregnant but they did admire her for not getting an abortion.
Depends on the Church. If it's an open-minded church, it should be fine. If it's one of those ';no sex till marriage'; bible literalist churches, chances are they'll try to stone her.
The people there might not accept her but you could try because she probably feels alone. And sometimes all we have is God. She needs His guidance and Him in her life more now then ever. Good Luck.
People have to remember that when the road is hard and you believe in God he is there to help he always walks with you. When you are with him and you look back you only see one set of foot prints and ask God why is there only one set of prints and his answer is I carried you on my back in your hard times.


So do take that friend to church. God will love you both for it and god will make others realise that they can be lonely during hard times.
that's going to be awkward
yes i would say bring her and that she should attend the church


God loves everyone and knows people make mistakes.





Church helps people deal with things they are dealing in life and helps them toward a better future.
well i would bring her anyway...it makes no sense that your worrying about it....she should be the one worrying and if she isnt then you shouldnt. dont care about what other people think and if your a pregnant teen i think you would want a closer relationship with God anyway so it could be important.....dont worry and take her with you
