Purpose
Living Alternatives advertises as the Pregnancy Resource Center with free testing and confidential counseling. Most women come into the center because they are in crisis. We want to counsel them and support all types of women in crisis - abortion-minded and not abortion-minded. Our other services, which include parenting classes, providing maternity and baby clothing, abstinence education and post abortion counseling, are secondary services.
We absolutely do not coerce or badger any woman into making any type of decision about her baby. We present the truth and it is up to the woman to make any decision concerning the outcome of the pregnancy.
Mission statement
We are committed to providing excellent care, compassionate support, and honest information to those facing pregnancy decisions through authentic relationships that display grace, honor life, and foster community.
Statement of faith
We believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord, Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, Born of the Virgin Mary, Suffered under Pontius Pilate, Was crucified, dead, and buried. He descended into hell; The third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, And sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost; The Holy Church, the Communion of Saints; The Forgiveness of sins; The Resurrection of the body, And the Life everlasting. Amen. (The Apostles Creed)

History
Program accomplishments
In 2020, we provided 1358 pregnancy tests and 1315 ultrasounds at no cost to our patients. We had 7,624 unique client visits. 5,682 of those appointments were for continued support programs, such as our H.O.P.E. pregnancy and parenting education, adoption support, post-abortion recovery, sexual health education and bereavement support.
Needs
We believe everyone has a gift, talent, ability or resource that can be used in a tangible way to impact the lives of the women we serve. All of our services are offered free of charge and we do not receive government funding, so we depend 100% on private financial donations to speak hope into every situation. We invite you to get to know us and consider the many ways in which you can get involved. Thank you for considering how you could partner with us in the days to come. We are better together.
