MISSION STATEMENT 

Pregnancy Support Services is a Christian ministry providing alternatives to abortion by supporting women facing the challenges of unplanned pregnancy, promoting sexual abstinence and offering post abortion recovery support.

VISION STATEMENT

Pregnancy Support Services offers unconditional acceptance and care to all affected by unplanned pregnancy. We see hope restored, lives saved, and practical help given to physical, emotional and spiritual needs through trained counselors demonstrating the compassionate love of Jesus Christ. We see healing for those suffering from post abortion stress and sexually transmitted diseases. We see sexual integrity (abstinence outside of marriage) valued, faith found, and the miracle of life cherished. We see a community encouraged, educated, and empowered along the path of life, from generation to generation.
