Purpose

DCPC recognizes that an unplanned pregnancy can happen to any woman, at any age and in any circumstance. A woman in this situation may experience a wide range of emotions such as fear, excitement, confusion or feel overwhelmed.

During this time she needs someone who will listen to her with compassion and understanding and provide ACCURATE information about all her options. Her decision to parent, place for adoption or to have an abortion all have their difficulties. There is no easy way out.

The most irreversible decision is abortion. No woman should be left to face such a traumatic and damaging decision alone. Abortion is never encouraged nor arranged. However, if a woman chooses to have an abortion, she can still find love and support through post-abortion counseling.

An equally difficult, yet life affirming decision, is to place for adoption. Due to adoption’s legal and complex nature, a reputable adoption agency is utilized. Continued love and support will still be offered.

A woman who chooses to parent needs the most support. She may need material assistance, pregnancy education, spiritual guidance, parenting skills or simply encouragement. Every woman should have the opportunity to provide for the needs of her child.

 

We believe that all men, women and children, including preborn babies, are important and valuable human beings for whom we deeply care.  We recognize that those experiencing “unplanned pregnancies” especially women, are facing perhaps the greatest personal crisis of their lives, and they do not have to face this alone.  Accordingly, we are committed to serving all those facing such a pregnancy by providing them with a loving, caring and supportive environment to assist them in their time of need.

We believe that every woman considering an abortion should receive complete and accurate information. Our goal is to educate her on the physical, emotional, spiritual and social factors in making her decision. We are committed to providing such information to all who are interested.

We serve women and families experiencing unplanned pregnancies by providing a free pregnancy test, limited ultrasound, pregnancy options counseling, Parenting Education, Ongoing support and friendship, Community Referrals, and Post Abortion Support. 

We believe that a personal relationship with Jesus Christ is essential to effectively minister and offer support and these services to women and families. It is an honor to be used of God to serve them in this manner.
