About Us
Since its beginnings in 1982, the core values of Vital Signs Ministries have been a commitment to Christian orthodoxy, including a comprehensive sanctity of life ethic. Thus we take very seriously our responsibilities to preach the gospel, to make disciples, and in Christ’s Name, to serve “the least of these” in a variety of relevant ways. Education. Direct Action. Intercession. Advocacy. Fellowship. And more.
Vital Signs Ministries’ record of service in these last 40 years (and counting) has included:
* The creation of the AAA Center for Pregnancy Counseling.
* Prayerful, peaceful, and winsome sidewalk counseling at abortion businesses.
* The creation of the extremely popular “When Swing Was King” ministry in senior care facilities and several other outreach services to seniors.
* Thousands of speaking engagements throughout America – as well as in Germany, Russia, England, Nigeria, Poland, India, Wales, Burkina Faso, Scotland, Canada, Switzerland, and Belarus.
* The radio broadcasts “Vital Signs” and “Vital Signs Weekend.”
* Quarterly letter-writing events and ongoing correspondence.
* Book discussions, film showings, educational events featuring acclaimed speakers.
* An active social media presence.
