Overview

Mission

The mission of Life Pregnancy Center is to uphold the sanctity of life; promote sexual integrity; offer practical pregnancy, parenting, and post-abortive support; and share the Biblical message of salvation.

What it reported doing in 2025

Consulting: Through individual or family consultations, we offer women and men who are facing the challenges of an unplanned pregnancy accurate and truthful information regarding abortion, parenting, and adoption. We extend material, financial, educational, emotional, spiritual, and limited medical support. We also offer community referrals for food and clothing, housing, medical and legal assistance, social services, and adoption. Our maternity program provides pre-natal and pregnancy information to the expectant parent(s). Participation in these consulting services permits enrollment in the Earn While You Learn program. In 2025, there were 2211 client visits that involved 327 individual mothers and fathers. Of the 327 individuals, 49 were first time moms. Demographically, the majority of clients are from Fayette County, and are in the 20-30 year old age range. Additionally, 10 parents were served through our court-ordered parenting program.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 97% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
