MIDLAND, TEXAS - Amber Johnson credits much of her stability today to a ministry for teen mothers at First Baptist Church. Formerly called Teen MOPS, M.A.R.Y. Ministries is a non-denominational, non-judgmental environment for teen mothers ages 13 through 19. The group's name stands for "Mothering As Responsible Youth," and is a play off the name of the Biblical teen mother who gave birth to the son of God.

Ministries was formed so the group's leaders could write their own, personalized curriculum.
