Who is Care Net Pregnancy Center
?
Care Net Pregnancy Center is an outreach
ministry of Jesus Christ through His church and is committed
to presenting the gospel of our Lord to women with crisis
pregnancies - both in word and in deed.
Care Net is committed to providing
its clients with accurate information about prenatal development
and abortion. We offer information, practical help and referral
services.
The center does not refer for abortions.
The center does not discriminate in providing services because
of race, creed, color, national origin, age or marital status.
All of our assistance is free of charge and confidential.
What about The Gospel?
Every woman with an unplanned pregnancy
has spiritual needs as well as physical ones, Jesus Christ
desires to meet them all.
Therefore, the Care Net ministry
is comprehensive in presenting the Gospel to women seeking
assistance. Volunteers are trained to express Christ's love
and offer His forgiveness to their clients. Care Net will
not refuse a client if she is not interested in addressing
her spiritual needs.
Our Background
Care Net Pregnancy Center of Wayne
County, opened its doors to the public in May 1988 in downtown
Palmyra. It is governed by a local board of directors and
is funded purely by donations. The Center Director manages
a staff of well-trained volunteers who peer-counsel women
in one on one personal meetings or over the phone.
Care Net Pregnancy Center is affiliated
with Care Net which grew out of the Christian Action Council
which was founded in 1975 by a member of concerned Christians,
including Dr. & Mrs. Harold O. J. Brown, Dr. C. Everitt
Koop, Rev. Billy Graham and the late Dr. Francis A. Schaffer.
Since its establishment it has challenged threats to human
life, such as abortion, fetal research, genetic engineering,
assisted suicide, infanticide and euthanasia.
Care Net researched and developed
a model for pregnancy centers in 1978 and actually opened
its first center in Baltimore, Maryland in l980. Today there
are over 750 affiliated Care Net Centers who are known for
their biblically based care and high-quality standards.
