Our Ministry

Richland Pregnancy Services is a privately funded, non-profit ministry, that is affiliated with Care Net, an international organization with over 900 pregnancy care centers and NIFLA. We are governed by a volunteer board of directors which represents a cross-section of our community. The staff consists of seven paid staff and many trained volunteers. Everyone at the Center has a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and believes that every life has value.

Our History
Seeing the need to provide alternatives to abortion for the women of Richland County, "Richland Crisis Pregnancy Services" was founded in 1987. By 1991, the center's name was shortened to "Richland Pregnancy Services." Over the past twenty years, we have seen thousands of clients in our center. During this time, we have seen babies' lives saved, women come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ, and families' needs met in our community.

HOPE through REDEMPTION
For every woman who has fallen victim to the lies of abortion and sexual sin, we offer her hope through the healing and forgiving power of the Lord Jesus Christ. We share the hope of renewed life through Jesus after having an abortion or living a life of sexual compromise. We communicate this hope through the following programs provided through our Center:

Post-Abortion Program: Rainbows in the Night

• An 8 -10 week Bible study to bring women through the process of healing after an abortion.
• Communicates the truth that Christ did not come to condemn, but to deliver and set free.
• Offers forgiveness, salvation and healing through Christ, and Christ alone.
• Offers support and encouragement through the process.

"Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." 2 Corinthians 5:17

HOPE through COMPASSION
For every woman who walks through our door, regardless of her situation, age, race, or ethnic background, we offer her hope by affirming her value in God and showing her His great love. We offer her a listening ear, a caring heart, and the opportunity to know truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We communicate this hope the following ways:

• Offering ongoing counseling
• Sharing God's plan of salvation through Jesus Christ
