Recognizing that each church, association and convention are unique, the Three-M Model is designed to suggest ways each organization may choose their level of support for their local centers and provide ideas and support to the organizations to successfully achieve their goals.

The three levels of support are defined as:

* Model One
* Model Two
* Model Three

On the following pages are the definitions of the three types of models and suggestions for ways to implement the model you may wish to choose.

Model One
State Convention

The State Convention chooses the Model One by supporting pregnancy care centers in the following ways: 

* Publicizing the work of pregnancy care centers through articles in the state Baptist paper
* Endorsing the work of pregnancy care centers through individual letters to SBC churches in the state
* Providing funds for the Pregnancy Care Ministries State Trainer to attend the annual meeting of State Trainers at the North American Mission Board

Some state conventions support the work of the pregnancy care centers through the Model One.

Model One
SBC Churches and Associations

A church or association chooses the Model One by supporting pregnancy care centers in the following ways:

* Recognizing the pregnancy care center as a local missions opportunity
* Providing opportunities for the local pregnancy care center to give updates and share needs of their ministry
* Recognizing the third Sunday in January as Sanctity of Human Life Sunday through Bible study lessons, bulletin inserts and sermons and inviting pregnancy center staff and volunteers to share testimonies
* Encouraging church members to volunteer at the pregnancy care center by publicizing training opportunities and the center's needs and projects
* Providing for the physical needs of pregnancy care center clients through church-wide baby showers and individual donations of diapers, maternity and baby clothes, and other baby items

Model Two
State Conventions

The state convention chooses the Model Two by supporting pregnancy care centers in the following ways:

* Publicizing the work of pregnancy care centers through articles in the state Baptist paper
*Endorsing the work of  pregnancy care centers through individual letters to SBC churches in the state
* Providing funds for the Pregnancy Care Ministries State Trainer to attend the annual meeting of State Trainers at the North American Mission Board
* Inviting the state's  pregnancy care centers to participate in the annual state convention by providing display space in the exhibit hall and presenting a report on the work of the centers at the annual meeting
* Sponsoring and providing funds for an annual meeting of pregnancy care centers to be held in conjunction with the state convention

This model was established by the Southern Baptists of Texas Convention beginning in 2006.

Model Two
SBC Churches and Associations

A church or association chooses the Model Two by supporting pregnancy care centers in the following ways:

* Recognizing the pregnancy care center as a local missions opportunity
* Providing opportunities for the local pregnancy care center to give updates and share needs of their ministry
* Recognizing the third Sunday in January as Sanctity of Human Life Sunday through Bible study lessons, bulletin inserts and sermons and inviting pregnancy center staff and volunteers to share testimonies
* Encouraging church members to volunteer at the pregnancy care center by publicizing training opportunities and the center's needs and projects
* Providing for the physical needs of pregnancy care center clients through church-wide baby showers and individual donations of diapers, maternity and baby clothes, and other baby items
* Establishing an organized method whereby the pastoral staff and/or members of the church pray regularly for pregnancy care center clients, volunteers, staff, and boards of directors
* Contributing financially to the pregnancy care center through inclusion in the church budget and/or by participating in special events such as walks for life, baby bottle promotions, and love offerings on Sanctity of Life Sunday

Model Three
State Conventions

The State Convention chooses the Model Three by supporting pregnancy care centers in the following ways:

* Publicizing the work of pregnancy care centers through articles in the state Baptist paper
* Endorsing the work of the pregnancy care center through individual letters to SBC churches in the state
* Providing funds for the Pregnancy Care Ministries State Trainer to attend the annual meeting of State Trainers at the North American Mission Board
* Inviting the state's  pregnancy care centers to participate in the annual state convention by providing display space in the exhibit hall and presenting a report on the work of the centers at the annual meeting
* Sponsoring and providing funds for an annual meeting of pregnancy care centers to be held in conjunction with the state convention
* Providing grants or funding for a full-time position of State Consultant, Life Resources of (name of state). This organization would apply for a 501(c)(3) status but would report to the designated state convention personnel. Because of the state convention's concern for life, each pregnancy center in the state would receive free consulting from the State Consultant This would help achieve a uniformity of services provided by the pregnancy care centers in the state and would provide a resource to help raise the standards of all existing centers.
* In consultation with the Pregnancy Care Ministries of the North American Mission Board and the State Consultant, the convention would define areas in the state where a pregnancy care center is needed. As resources permit, the convention would work with the North American Mission Board,  local churches and associations to start new centers across the state.

A similar model was funded by the Georgia Baptist Health Care Ministry Foundation in 2007.
