Image of God Study
God created all people in His image. This powerful, biblical truth is the starting point for the Image of God study. Through six weekly lessons, participants view life holistically and learn how to Stand For Life – loving all people well at every stage of life.
Learn to Stand For Life
Image of God study equips individuals, small groups, and churches with theological, ethical, and practical tools to live out a holistic life-affirming vision and mission. A transformative resource created by Stand For Life, the Image of God study comes with video training presented by former NFL Player and philanthropist Benjamin Watson.
What is Covered:

Phillip Bethancourt
Senior Pastor
Image of God study is an essential resource for pastors and church leaders seeking to cultivate a holistic pro-life vision within their congregations. Through theologically sound teachings, the curriculum equips believers to understand the sanctity of life from a biblical perspective, make ethical choices in matters of life and death, and embody Christ's compassion to become his hands and feet in the world. When we used this curriculum in our church, it had a big impact on our people. I trust that it will make a big difference in your church as well.

In a culture that often believes that only some lives matter, the IMAGE OF GOD curriculum helps us see and believe that every person matters because we are all made in the image of God. This curriculum is for churches, small groups, Bible studies, or any other way you look deep into God's word with those around you.
Daniel Patterson
Executive Pastor
Standing for life as a witness against a creeping culture of death is at the forefront of what must be this generation’s defining public priority. The magnitude of this need is met by the mission of this great organization, and I am grateful for the great work and great team at Stand For Life.
