    What We Are &
    What We Do

    We are a Christ-centered ministry that works to meet the comprehensive needs of those unprepared for
    pregnancy, heal lives traumatized by abortion, and challenge people to embrace a Biblical view of sexuali-
    ty and the sanctity of human life.
    We do this by providing the following caring, confidential, and free services:
     Options Counseling educates clients about abortion, adoption, parenting, and sexual health issues.
     Medical Services include limited ultrasounds, pregnancy verifications, fertility counseling, and appro-
    priate referrals.
     Life Steps Classes prepare parents for what they will experience from pregnancy through their child’s
    1st year of life, and material resources are provided through this incentive-based program.
     Stepping Up Mentoring has parallels with our Options and Life Steps programs but is designed for
    men/fathers.
     Pathway to Hope is a post-abortive Biblical counseling and education program for women & men.
     Reality Check is our abstinence-based sexual health and relationship education program delivered
    within public and private schools (grades 8 - 12), and at other institutions.
