The LPC
Providing help for today and hope for tomorrow since 1987.
Our Mission.
The LPC exists to glorify God and make known the Gospel of Jesus Christ by offering spiritual, physical, and emotional care for all women and men in their reproductive journey. We do this by:
- Equipping individuals before, during, and after pregnancy
- Providing a safe place for individuals to process the impact of reproductive loss, including after-abortion care
- Helping individuals explore their understanding of healthy relationships and intimacy within their life.
Our Story.
The Laurel Pregnancy Center first opened its doors to our community in 1987. A group of community leaders saw a need for helping women navigate through the complexities of relationships, finances, and her future, when faced with an unplanned pregnancy.
Over the years, the Center has evolved and grown to serve both women and men facing not just an unplanned pregnancy, but pregnancy in general. Our goal is to give everyone a trustworthy source of information, resources, and support throughout their reproductive journey.
Our Commitment to Care.
The LPC is a pregnancy help medical clinic. A medical professional is available during clinic hours to answer pregnancy-related questions.
