About Our Center
Providing you with confidential care and resources.
Who We Are
Charis (pronounced kare-is) is a Greek word that means “grace and kindness.” Grace and kindness is exactly what you can expect to receive as we face the challenges that come with an unplanned pregnancy together with you.
Charis Pregnancy & Family Help Center provides free and confidential services to all without judgement or discrimination.
Charis is a place where you can
- discuss personal situations without fear of judgement.
- receive accurate, truthful information on all the available options, so you can make informed decisions.
- confidentially consult with our medical staff and trained client advocates.
- be affirmed, equipped and mentored through pregnancy and parenting or adoption processes.
- find the healing and forgiveness from past abortion decisions through faith-based mentoring.
Charis is a non-profit Christian ministry organized exclusively for charitable, religious and educational purposes within the meaning of 501c(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, including but not limited to the support, education and equipping for people to make life-affirming choices relating to pregnancy, parenting, relationships and God.
Charis does not give referrals to abortion clinics or provide any assistance to obtain an abortion.
