About Choices Resource Center
Established in 1992, Choices Resource Center began by providing free and confidential help for women facing unplanned pregnancies. Today they provide lab-quality pregnancy testing, ultrasound, and STD testing, as well as parenting and sexual integrity classes and post-abortion retreats; all at no charge. Their programs direct women and men toward wise choices in every stage of their lives, whether they are facing an immediate pregnancy, contemplating an abortion or making decisions regarding future sexual relationships.
Testimony
God’s handprints are all over the Choices Resource Center! Each client visit, each phone call, each donation…God’s holy presence is evident. Clients enter Choices with certain objectives: some request testing, some want someone to talk with, some want a quick solution to a huge “problem”. This ministry shares the love of Jesus with each person.
Performing ultrasounds is such a joy for me. It is hard to describe being in the room with the parents of a precious baby whose ultrasound image is so vividly displayed on a wall-mounted 26-inch flat screen TV. According to Focus on the Family’s ‘Option Ultrasound Program’, “Among women at risk for abortion, the combined provision of counseling and ultrasound results in nearly 60% more stated decisions for life than with counseling alone.” Jesus, in Matthew 5, calls us to be salt and light in this world; what an honor it is to serve Christ at Choices Resource Center
