LifeChoices Women's Care Celebrated five years of serving women in need and saving babies at the Light of Hope Benefit where they raised over $121,333 in pledges. Many in attendance have served as ministry partners over the last five years, for other, it was their first time hearing about the work done to erase the need for abortion by providing women the confidence to embrace motherhood and give their baby the gift of life!

LifeChoices Women's Care says it is a pregnancy resource medical clinic whose purpose is to educate, counsel and extend compassionate care to those facing unplanned pregnancies. We also promote healing for those who have experienced a pregnancy loss through abortion.

Primarily, we are a medical clinic that provides pregnancy diagnosis through testing and limited obstetrical ultra-sounds. Most of our clients find us on the internet and are attracted to going to a discreet location in a safe neighborhood. We have served women from 5 counties and over 35 zip codes. All of our services are free. We know that the Holy Spirit is calling us to serve more women and men, to expand our medical services and our post-abortive healing program. It is our hope that tonight you feel God's calling to support this life-saving work and become a ministry partner.
