The
Cleveland
Pregnancy
Center
originated
from
the
vision
that
a
few
friends
had
in
1980
after
attending
a
conference
in
Michigan
where
they
heard
Dr.
C.
Everett
Koop
and
Dr.
Francies
Schaeffer
speak
on
the
topic
of
abortion
and
the
need
for
Christians
to
become
active
in
the
pro-life
movement.
The
group
was
challenged
to
take
a
stand
against
abortion
and
to
act
with
compassion
on
behalf
of
women
in
unplanned
pregnancies.
The
vision
was
realized
a
few
years
later
with
a
Westside
suburban
church
giving
a
large
donation
of
seed
money
to
start
a
center.
A
evangelical
/
non-denominational
steering
committee
was
formed
to
start
the
original
Center,
now
known
as
the
Cleveland
Pregnancy
Center,
in
association
with
the
Christian
Action
Council
of
Washington,
D.C.,
now
CareNet.
The
dream
became
a
reality
with
the
Center's
opening
in
June
of
1984,
and
has
relocated
twice
to
larger
facilities
to
accomodate
the
growth
of
the
ministry.
Presently,
the
Center
has
a
main
office
and
one
satellite
office. We also provide services out of local partnering churches. Our prenatal clinic, opened in 2006, provides medical and spiritual support to many women, whom otherwise would not be able to receive medical care.
"Let
us
not
love
with
words
or
tongue,
but
with
actions
and
in
truth."
