Mission

Our mission is to protect the physical, emotional, and spiritual lives of women and their unborn children.

Notes from the nonprofit

The Greater Baltimore Center for Pregnancy Concerns (CPC) is a non-political, non-denominational Christian pro-life ministry. CPC operates three centers: Options@328, our medical services facility, is staffed with licensed nurses, sonographers, and oversight by our medical director. Here we provide women with free pregnancy testing, viability sonograms, abortion pill reversal, advocacy, and links to resources that support the choice for life. Our other two locations are material resource centers. There we provide women who have already chosen life with free online educational classes to create and maintain healthy families. Once our clients complete these classes, they are entitled to free baby clothing, diapers, formula, wipes and other hygiene products every month. We are funded by individuals, foundations and churches. We believe in the sanctity of life as well as God's gift of free will. CPC makes no money from the choices women make.
