Pregnancy Lifeline is a private,
nonprofit,
Christian ministry devoted to helping women
experiencing a crisis
pregnancy. Our goal is to minister to
the emotional, physical and spiritual
needs of these women, sharing God’s
love and hope for their future. We
share accurate information about
the risks of abortion and the other
options of marriage, single parenting
and adoption. Ultimately we hope to
provide the help needed for them to
give life to their unborn child.
Pregnancy Lifeline began on March 30,
1973 as a Social Service organization
providing assistance to women in crisis
pregnancy situations. The organization
began as a result of the concern of
three women who were receiving no
help or little help from other sources.
Until 1982, it was called Together.
However, in 1983 the name changed
to Pregnancy Lifeline more accurately
describing the organization.
The first office of Together was on
8th Avenue in the sweltering second
story of an old house. From 1983
until 1985 Pregnancy Lifeline was in
two different office buildings, each
one an improvement over the other.
Since 1986, our
office has been across from Hulen Mall. This
location has given us visibility and easy accessibility for our clients.
Also, Pregnancy Lifeline has been blessed with an attractive and
appealing office. We have had several directors since that time
and are currently staffed by an Executive Director, one full-time
and two part-time staff members and 30 volunteers.
We have seen a dramatic increase in client visits from 1200 in
2000 to 4,703 in 2007. In accordance with that growth, last
year we expanded from 1,398 sq. ft to a 3,900 sq. ft. facility.
It is our hope that every client will choose life for their baby,
but we will be here for them no matter what decision they
make. We are a life-affirming organization and do not believe
in abortion under any circumstances and believe that children
are a gift from God and that He has a plan for each life.
