Save-A-Life Banquet
Here at Pregnancy Resource Center, we choose to put God first. We want young women and men to know that they have someone to turn to and that He has all the answers to their unplanned pregnancy questions. His name is Jesus! We want to tell them of the One who has unconditional love for them and their baby. He made them and their baby for a purpose - to worship Him. He is a forgiving God that knows what they need. He will not force Himself on them but they are free to choose Him and to be set free. We are here to help them learn how to do just that!
