Become a Lifeline Supporter

Did you know it literally takes thousands of people to make the Pregnancy Care Center ministry viable? Some give to the ministry by offering their specialized expertise. Others contribute their valuable time as a volunteer in one of our centers or another ministry program. But by far the greatest number contribute to the ministry by helping to fund the work. They write a check, fill a baby bottle with change, or raise pledges from family and friends through our Walks for Life or Golf Challenge. Whether they give $5 or $10,000, every person who comes alongside us to provide funding is crucial to making this work possible.

So, for those who want to be part of this exciting ministry, we are pleased to offer a new, more convenient way to make a gift to the Pregnancy Care Center. We can now accept donations online at our website http://www.affirminglifeonline.org, under the "Support Our Work" tab.

While you can go to this page and give a one-time gift, we are especially excited to offer you the opportunity to become a Lifeline supporter by giving a recurring gift. Let me share with you why our Lifeline supporters are such a huge asset to the ministry.

  1. Lifeline members provide consistent, stable, monthly income to this life-saving ministry. Regular, dependable income frees up the staff to focus on meeting the needs of clients and sharing the good news with them, rather than having to devote time and energy to soliciting the next donated dollar.
  2. Lifeline supporters save valuable resources by cutting the handling costs of staff members manually processing checks. Additionally, by choosing to give online using your checking account rather than a credit card, you save the ministry from having to pay credit card processing fees.
  3. Lifeline contributors also help us fulfill our mission by strategically partnering with us on a regular basis. As we think about how to "affirm the value and dignity of every human life," we are able to plan for growth as we build on the solid foundation of a stable income.

If you are looking for a way to make a difference in the lives of people who need the hope and direction that the Pregnancy Care Centers offer, we'd love for you to consider partnering with us as a Lifeline supporter.
