Branches
About Us
Here at Branches, we believe every person making decisions about their pregnancy deserves to have information and support so they can make the best decision for their pregnancy. We are committed to empowering families, because strong families make strong communities. We are a pregnancy resource center, which means we have information, resources, and referrals to share with our clients. We are not a medical facility and do not have any medical services. We do not offer or refer for pregnancy terminations.
What we do have are pregnancy tests, parenting classes, free baby and maternity items, and more. All our services are free of charge. We would love to help you on your journey!
Our History
Branches Pregnancy Resource Center has served the women and families of our community since 1985. We are a faith based organization and a 501(c)(3) non-profit. All of our funding comes from local individuals, businesses, churches, and charities who wish to support the families we serve. We receive no state or federal funding or grants. As a non-profit, we are not in this “business” for financial gain but for the well-being of our community. Our doors stay open and our services are offered only because of generous donations from caring financial partners.
Our Mission
Our Director
The Lord’s calling on Jean to Branches Pregnancy Resource Center began eight years ago when she became a client of a nearby pregnancy resource center. After obtaining an Associate Degree in Biblical Theology from Northpoint Bible College, Jean served in ministry supporting women with life-controlling issues. While Jean has a heart for sharing Christ in her role as Executive Director, her initiative is to share her gifts and redemption story as an overcomer of human trafficking by educating, equipping, and supporting the women and men within the local community about the importance of life. The vision that the Lord has given her for the future of Branches includes providing medical pregnancy services to the community through the continual growth of partnerships with volunteers, donors, and community organizations. In her free time, Jean loves spending time with her son, writing and publishing books, and sharing the Gospel.
Our Statement of Faith
As a non-profit, faith-based organization, we believe:
- The Bible is inspired by God and is the only infallible Word of God, making it the final authority in all matters of faith and conduct.
- There is One, True, Living God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
- Jesus Christ is God the Son, manifested in the flesh.
- Spiritual regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential for the salvation of lost, sinful people.
- There is no other way to salvation besides repentance and faith in our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, whose physical death and bodily resurrection provides redemption from sin and the promise of eternal life.
- The present ministry of the Holy Spirit indwelling all believers in Christ seals us as adopted children of God and empowers us to practice living a godly life.
- All this is included in the Bible’s proclamation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, His Good News for mankind that we share with those who are interested in learning more about God’s love for them.
