Our Mission Statement and Services Provided:

As a ministry of the Lord Jesus Christ, the mission of Christian Family Services is to provide alternatives to abortion through counseling and care for the mother and her child.  Our primary goal is to save the life of the unborn child, as God values human life and knows us even before our conception. We offer counseling to the woman who finds herself in a crisis pregnancy situation, striving to meet her emotional and spiritual needs, in order to help her make the best decision for herself and her unborn child, and in the process, grow closer to God.  We offer services to help meet her physical needs in an effort to ensure a healthy pregnancy. For the woman who makes an adoption plan, we provide Christian parents who are prepared, assessed, and approved for adoption.  For the woman who is undecided, we provide interim foster care as she makes plans for herself and her child.  For women who are working with other agencies, or for foreign-born children, we provide Christian parents who are prepared, assessed, and approved for adoption.  Recognizing that adoption is a life-changing event, we offer lifelong services to all members of the adoption triad: birthparents, adoptive parents, and their children.
