Why A Pregnancy Care Center?

In a day when abortion is regarded by many as a logical end to an unplanned pregnancy, the ministry of Lifeline is more crucal than ever. People need to know the true cost of this procedure - not in dollars, but in life's regrets.

And so we continue doing what we've been doing since 1986: offering a straight-talking, strong-loving, hope-giving refuge. AQ place to help women get past the fear and deception that is all around. We help them see life as God sees it, and to realize that even in a difficult situation, He can bring good out of it!

Lifeline provides accurate information about abortion procedures and the risks involved. We also help girls and women consider the options of adoption, single parenting and marriage.

What About The Gospel?

Lifeline is committed to meeting the needs of the whole person. Each individual who seeks our help has physical, emotional and spiritual needs. They need to be ministered to with sensitivity. The good news of salvation is shared as the Lord gives our counselors the opportunity through their relationships with women who call or come in for help. We have found that the Lord uses both our words and our deeds to show His love to the people in needs.

Put your hope in the Lord, for with the Lord is unfailing love and with Him is full redemption. Ps 130:7

How Does The Pregnancy Care Center Work?

Through community-wide advertising and word of mouth in peer groups, women hear about Lifeline. Frequently, the offer of a free pregnancy test attracts them.

The following proces occurs once the client comes to the Center:

• A free, self-administered pregnancy test is given.
• Video presentations on fetal development, pregnancy, abortion procedures and risks of abortion are available.
• Once the client determines if her test is either psotive or negative, a trained volunteer counselor helps her face her situation realistically and rationally. Her options are considered, helpful literature is given, and other community services are offered.
• Help is extended to the pregnant client during the duration of her pregnancy as well as after giving birth, if she chooses. A 24-hour answering service is also available to her.
• Through Jesus, who is in the business of changing lives, she is given new hope. A caring community is opened up to her.

Lifeline PCC Statement of Principle

1. The Pregnancy Care Center is an outreach ministry of Jesus Christ through His Church. Therefore, the PCC, embodied in its volunteers, is committed to presenting the gospel of our Lord to women with crisis pregnancies both in word and deed. Commensurate with this purpose, those who labor as PCC board members, directors, and volunteers are expected to know Christ as their Savior and Lord.
2. The PCC is committed to providing its clients with accurate and complete information about both prenatal development and abortion.
3. The PCC is committed to integrity in dealing with clients, earning their trust, providing promised information and services, and avoiding any form of deception in its corporate advertising or individual conversation.
4. The PCC is committed to assiting women to carry to term by providing emotional support and practical assistance. Through the provision of God's people and the community at large, women may face the future with hope and plan constructively for themselves and their babies.
5. The PCC does not discriminate in providing services beacuse of race, creed, color, national origin, age, or marital status of its clients.
6. The PCC does not recommend, provide or refer for abortions or abortifacients.
7. The PCC offers assitance free of charge at all times.
8. The PCC is committed to creating an awareness within the local community of the needs of pregnant women and of the fact that abortion only compounds human need rather than resolving it.
9. The PCC does not recommend, provide or refer single women for contraceptives. (Married women seeking contraceptive information should be urged to seek counsel, along with their husbands, from their pastor and physician.)
10. The PCC recognizes the validity of adoption as one alternative to abortion, but is not biased toward adoption when compared to other life-saving alternatives. Centers are independent of adoption agencies, relating to them in the same manner as to other helpful agencies. PCC receives no payment of any kind from these agencies; does not enter into contractual relationships with them, and does not share combined office space. Adoption agencies are not established under the auspices of centers. PCC neither initiates nor facilitates independent adoptions, through they may refer for independent adoptions in states where it is legal.

Lifeline PCC is affiliated with CareNet.
