What we do and why...

Choices exists to empower people to make informed choices concerning their pregnancy by giving accurate counsel and truthful information. Our desire is:

• to help individuals consider the sanctity of life,
• the benefits of sexual abstinence and purity,
• the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ,
• to find hope and healing through abortion recovery groups.

We will operate with the utmost standards of integrity in order to uphold the name of Jesus Christ and to love others as He has first loved us.

Why are we here? What difference does it make? It’s a fair question. Before sending one-dollar of financial support, before volunteering, you need to know what kind of ministry we are. So, with just a few answers to that question, we thought you should know: Why we are here...

We are here, because it is not enough to say no to abortion. The Christian must say “yes” to life, and back that up with actions that speak louder than words and slogans.

We are here, because it is not enough to talk about problems in society such as out of wedlock births. Instead, we must pull together in faith to show that there is truly a more excellent way.

And we are here, because the answer to the needs of a hurting world is in the person of Jesus Christ. We present Him in love, knowing that He is the hope that those who come in our door need more than anything else.

We will operate with the utmost standards of integrity in order to uphold the name of Jesus Christ and to love others as He has first loved us.
