1. Who are you?

The Pregnancy Care Center of Ogden ministry is a Christian Pro-Life non-profit ministry that reaches out in God's love to women (and men) in unintended pregnancy situations. The PCC exists to save both physically and spiritually unborn.

The Pregnancy Care Center of Ogden works to help women discover positive alternatives to abortion. (We do not ever refer for or otherwise condone abortion.)

Through the pregnancy counseling section of the ministry, the PCC offers free pregnancy tests and counseling, information on pregnancy options, and material assistance for maternity and baby supplies. Additionally, the PCC offers Abstinence presentations for community and church groups, and offers Post Abortion Counseling and Education (PACE) Bible study groups for women and men seeking to experience God's freedom, forgiveness and hope after abortion.

All PCC services are free and open to anyone without financial qualification requirements.

The PCC is affiliated with a national organization of over 800 pregnancy centers called Care Net (www.Care-Net.org ). As with all Care Net centers, the backbone of the ministry a staff of faithful, dedicated volunteers overseen by a staff including the Executive Director and Client Services Director. The organization is governed by a local Board of Directors from various area churches.

The PCC a 501 c 3 non-profit organization. Our primary service area is Weber, Morgan and Davis counties but we accept clients from any area.

3. How do you feel about abortion?

At the PCC, we speak God's truth in love to those considering abortion and those who have had an abortion. God has poured out His bountiful forgiveness, grace, and mercy in our lives and we exist to help others find that same healing and wholeness.

Many of us in the PCC ministry have been touched personally in some way by abortion. Because we believe God's truth about abortion, and because of our own experiences, we believe that abortion compounds human suffering rather than alleviating it.
