WHO WE ARE

Mission & Vision

  • Believing that every human is created in the image of God, Charis Pregnancy Clinic is a Christ-centered ministry that provides an environment of safety and hope to those experiencing unplanned pregnancies and pregnancy loss. By providing professional medical services, personalized consultations, education, and parenting programs, we seek to empower women and men to make informed life choices and embrace God’s design for marriage and family life.

  • A community where all recognize that every human life is sacred because it is made in the image of God; the Gospel of Jesus Christ and His message of reconciliation and healing is recognized and proclaimed as good news by all; marriage between a man and a woman is celebrated as the place for the expression of human sexuality; therefore, making abortion unthinkable and ensuring that every child is welcomed into the family, the fundamental unit of a healthy society.

Statements of Core Values, Faith, & Principle

    1. Glorify God
      We honor God and His mission above all else.

      “Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name give glory, for the sake of your steadfast love and your faithfulness!” - Psalm 115:1

    2. Hope
      We equip women and men to embrace a brighter future.

      “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.” - Romans 15:13

    3. Compassion
      We model the heart of Jesus.

      “When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.” - Matthew 9:36

    4. Excellence
      We provide high quality, professional services.

      “And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.” - Colossians 3:17

    5. Integrity
      We are honest and truthful in all our dealings.

      “A truthful witness saves lives, but one who breathes out lies is deceitful.” – Proverbs 14:25

    6. Stewardship
      We wisely use the resources entrusted to us.

      “As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace.” – 1 Peter 4:10

    • We believe the Old and New Testament Scriptures alone to be the inspired, the infallible, authoritative Word of God with final authority for all Christian faith and life.

    • We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

    • We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.

    • We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit who is to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ, and during this age to convict men, regenerate the believing sinner, indwell, guide, instruct and empower the believer for godly living and service.

    • We believe that the shed blood of Jesus Christ and His resurrection provide the only ground for justification and salvation for all who believe, and only such as receive Jesus Christ by faith are born of the Holy Spirit, and thus become children of God.

    • We believe in the bodily resurrection of the dead. For the believer, to everlasting blessedness and joy with the Lord. For the unbeliever, to judgment and everlasting conscious punishment.

    • We believe that the true Church is composed of all such persons who, through saving faith in Jesus Christ, have been regenerated by the Holy Spirit and are united together in the body of Christ of which He is the head.

    1. Charis Pregnancy Clinic is an outreach ministry of Jesus Christ through His church. Therefore, Charis, embodied in its staff and volunteers, is committed to presenting the gospel of our Lord to women with crisis pregnancies – both in word and in deed. Commensurate with this purpose, those who labor as Charis Board members, directors and volunteers are expected to know Christ as their Savior and Lord.

    2. Charis is committed to providing its clients with accurate and complete information about both prenatal development and abortion.

    3. Charis is committed to adopting and enforcing internal procedures to assure that abortion education is performed in a caring and compassionate manner with due respect for the emotional sensibilities of each client. Prior to usage by the center, client materials containing descriptions or depictions of abortion will be reviewed by a qualified medical professional (ex. Physician, nurse) and determined to be medically accurate. Materials with graphic depictions of abortion or its results are not content appropriate when the primary effect of such materials is to shock rather than to educate. When using approved abortion education materials with clients, center personnel will always give specific warnings and obtain written client permission before showing any videos, brochures, or diagrams that contain any visual depictions of abortion or its results. No client will ever be asked, pressured, or coerced to view abortion education materials which she or he has indicated a desire not to see.

    4. Charis is committed to integrity in dealing with clients earning their trust and providing promised information and services. Charis denounces any form of deception in its corporate advertising or individual conversations with its clients.

    5. Charis is committed to assisting women to carry to term by providing emotional support and practical assistance. Through the provision of God’s people and the community at large, women may face the future with hope and plan constructively for themselves and their babies.

    6. Charis does not discriminate in providing services because of race, creed, color, national origin, age, or marital status of its clients.

    7. Charis does not recommend, provide, or refer for abortion or abortifacients.

    8. Charis always helps free of charge.

    9. Charis is committed to creating awareness within the local community of the needs of pregnant women and of the fact that abortion only compounds human need rather than resolving it.

    10. Charis does not recommend, provide, or refer single women for contraceptives. (Married women seeking contraceptive information should be urged to seek counsel along with their husbands, from their pastor and physician.)

    11. Charis recognizes the validity of adoption as one alternative to abortion but is not biased toward adoption when compared to the other life-saving alternatives. Pregnancy centers interacting with independent adoption agencies shall assure that referrals are made in a manner that fully protects the interests of clients and avoids any conflicts of interest. Adoption agencies may only be established under the auspices of centers if they meet strict standards to assure that pregnant clients shall be served without any conflicts of interest.

    12. Charis otherwise upholds all the principles and requirements set forth in our Commitment of Care.
