Giving Birth God's Way

The Birthing Clinic of the Cathedral of the King is God's provision for its own birthing place as our child bearing women are encouraged and challenged to choose natural childbirth. This is the realization of the vision of our Primate, Archbishop Loren Thomas Hines, to have a God-centered birthing place as declaration that giving birth is not medical but a family event that should be sacredly handled.

The mission of the Birthing Clinic is to help our pregnant women have the courage and determination to reject anaesthesia, analgesics, epidurals, episiotomy and possibly, even Caesarean Section. When women are adequately informed, prepared, and equipped for pregnancy and giving birth, they face this beautiful and powerful experience without fear.

Our Church firmly believes that when fear is eliminated in the hearts of pregnant mothers as we help them prepare spiritually, physically, mentally and nutritionally, they are able to give birth without external intervention.  By the grace of our faithful God, these mothers, opting to give birth in our Birthing Clinic, gave birth spontaneously without pain and medication.  They trusted to use their God-given instinctive ability to bring forth life with much joy and peace in their hearts. We call such experience as redemption in child birth.

We thank God for the faith of the mothers of the Cathedral of the King who bravely submitted themselves to the Birthing Program even in the midst of opposition.  Their birth stories became the building blocks of this Ministry. Some may call it natural birth empowering our Ministry sees it as an experience of redemption of childbirth...in action!

As of this writing, we have a total of one hundred eighty-seven (187) deliveries in the Birthing Clinic, eleven of which had successful vaginal births after Caesarean Section (VBACS).  We had quite a number cord coils and many incidents that has shown us convincing proofs that the Author, the Giver and the Sustainer of life is always with us. We humbly say that every delivery is our worship to God.

As the Birthing Clinic continuous to serve our own Cathedral of the King mothers, we have now extended our ministry to the less fortunate, mostly unwed mothers from our Ministry to the Blessed.  This has furthermore richly blessed Program with wonderful easy, fast, and speedy recovery after birth one would never think to be.

To God and God alone be the glory, honor, and praises!
