LIGHTHOUSE PREGNANCY CARE CENTER - Mission statement:
LPCC is dedicated to sharing God’s love and grace by providing individuals and families with education, resources, and supportive mentoring for life-affirming choices regarding pregnancy, pregnancy loss, childbirth, and early childhood parenting.
Our mission statement has changed slightly to add early childhood parenting, and we are blessed to see many little ones come in with their parent(s)!
Please join us in this community ministry by filling a baby bottle with monetary gifts!
