Preparing for Birth with Faith, Confidence, and Community: The Intercessory Birth 6-Week Childbirth Education Course
Pregnancy is not only a physical journey—it is a spiritual one. At Intercessory Birth, we believe childbirth is sacred ground, designed by God and worthy of intentional preparation that nurtures the body, mind, and spirit. That belief is at the heart of our 6-week faith-based childbirth education course, created to equip families with knowledge, confidence, and a strong spiritual foundation as they prepare to welcome new life.
A Christ-Centered Approach to Childbirth Education
Intercessory Birth offers more than traditional childbirth education. Our 6-week course integrates evidence-based childbirth education with biblical truth, prayer, and spiritual encouragement. Each class is intentionally designed to help parents understand the physiology of birth while also cultivating peace, trust, and confidence in God’s design.
Throughout the course, families explore topics such as:
God’s design for pregnancy and birth
Understanding the stages of labor
Comfort measures and coping strategies for labor
Informed decision-making and advocacy
The role of prayer and Scripture in childbirth
Preparing emotionally and spiritually for postpartum and parenting
By grounding education in faith, Intercessory Birth helps parents replace fear with understanding and anxiety with assurance.
Six Weeks of Intentional Preparation
The 6-week format allows families to engage deeply without feeling overwhelmed. Each week builds upon the last, offering space to learn, reflect, pray, and grow together as a couple. This extended structure encourages connection—not only between parents and instructor, but also among families walking the same season of life if you choose the group format.
Classes are welcoming, supportive, and designed to foster meaningful discussion. Parents are invited to ask questions, share concerns, and receive prayer in a safe and encouraging environment.
A Course That Honors the Role of Fathers
One of the most impactful features of the Intercessory Birth course is Dad Night—a dedicated session taught by a dad, for dads.
Dad Night is intentionally created to speak directly to fathers about their vital role during pregnancy, labor, and birth. In this session, dads receive practical, honest, and experience-based teaching from a fellow father who understands both the responsibility and the privilege of supporting a laboring mother.
Topics typically include:
How dads can actively support their partner during labor
Emotional and spiritual leadership in pregnancy, childbirth, and beyond
What to expect as a father in the birth space
Overcoming fear and uncertainty
Stepping confidently into the role God has given them
Tools for your dad tool belt
Quick vocabulary so you can advocate well in the birth space
Hearing from another dad creates a powerful sense of camaraderie and reassurance. Fathers leave feeling equipped, valued, and confident in their role as a support person, advocate, and spiritual covering for their family.
Building Confidence Rooted in Faith
At Intercessory Birth, we recognize that fear is one of the greatest obstacles families face as they approach birth. Our course intentionally addresses fear—physically, emotionally, and spiritually—by combining education with Scripture, prayer, and encouragement.
Families are reminded that God is present in birth, that their bodies are fearfully and wonderfully made, and that they are not walking this journey alone. This faith-centered foundation often transforms how parents experience labor and birth, replacing uncertainty with peace and confidence.
Intercessory Birth is committed to walking alongside families—praying with them, educating them, and encouraging them every step of the way.
If you are seeking a childbirth education experience that honors your faith, equips both parents, and prepares your family holistically, the Intercessory Birth 6-week faith-based childbirth education course offers a meaningful and transformative path to birth.
