Who We Are
Reaching one heart…Two lives in Immokalee
Women in difficult situations need a place to turn. We desire to be here with the information she needs and a listening ear.
Each client who walks through our doors has their own story. They may be facing an unplanned pregnancy and getting pressure from friends, family, and their partner to have an abortion. They may be worried about STDs and need someone to help them understand how the choices they make today affect their future. They may be struggling with the lingering effects of a past abortion.
*Marie’s Story:
Many months before we actually opened, Marie* came with a lady from the community who had learned about our soon-to-be-offered services. Marie’s family was threatening to “throw her out” if she continued with this pregnancy, so she felt abortion was her only option. After some time spent with Marie,* she decided to continue with her pregnancy. Recently, Marie* brought her little boy to the office, and we were able to hold the “first fruits” of this ministry.

Statement of Faith
Immokalee Pregnancy Center
1. We believe in one God eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
2. We believe in God the Father, whose creation reveals His unparalleled power and whose love extends to every person even before each is born.
3. We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His atoning death on the cross in our place, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His future personal return in power and glory.
4. We believe that human beings are created in God’s image, but because of human sin against God that image was defaced and fellowship with God was broken.
5. We believe that God has demonstrated His love for lost and sinful humanity, in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us. We believe that the Holy Spirit convinces us of sin and leads us to experience God’s salvation through faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord, who alone reconciles us to God and who is restoring God’s image in us.
6. We believe in the ongoing ministry of the Holy Spirit, who empowers us to live godly lives and to express our personal faith in good works.
7. We believe in life after death of both the saved and the lost; the saved to dwell in God’s presence forever, and the lost to exist eternally without God.
8. We believe theBible is the inspired, inerrant, infallible, and uniquely authoritative written Word of God, and our guide in faith and life.
9. We believe in the Body of Christ, which by the Holy Spirit is bound together in spiritual unity and sent out in gifted diversity to accomplish Christ’s mission in the world.
This statement of faith was developed by an interdenominational task force, consisting of Christians describing themselves as Catholics, Evangelicals and Protestants of various denominations, all involved in one pregnancy center.
