Hello Dear Friends of Abel,

Abel Pregnancy Resource Center stands as a beacon of light, sharing God’s love and hope with women, men, and families in need. Thank you for visiting our website to learn more about our mission. We pray you find encouragement here and feel inspired to take part in the life-saving work God is doing through this ministry.

We offer a wide range of services for our clients and want it to be known that we’re here not only for women and men facing an unplanned or unexpected pregnancy, but also for joyful moms and dads who simply need a helping hand.

Our goal is to strengthen our connection within the community by becoming more visible, both to those seeking support and to individuals who believe in our mission and wish to serve as volunteers. We’ve introduced a new volunteer onboarding process and look forward to seeing how God will continue to provide through this transition. Our current hours of operation are as follows:

Monday: 10 AM – 6 PM
Tuesday: 2 PM – 8 PM
Thursday: 10 AM – 4 PM
The First Saturday of Each Month: 9 AM – 12 PM

In Christ,
Matthew Schaetzle (Executive Director)

Information on Abortion & Alternatives

Hearing the words, “You’re pregnant,” for many women brings fear instead of joy and leads some to consider abortion as a means of coping with an unexpected pregnancy. We are here to offer compassionate coaching and helpful information, such as: ultrasound confirmation of pregnancy, abortion risks, procedures, and alternatives (adoption & parenting) and helpful resources in the community. All of these services are confidential and free. Our lay counselors are ready to help each woman make the best & healthiest decisions for herself & her baby

Pregnancy Testing

Abel PRC offers confidential and free pregnancy testing for those in our communities who may think they could be pregnant.

Limited Ultrasound for Pregnancy Confirmation

Earn While You Learn Program

This is a program by which parents can receive needed baby items in exchange for their time and willingness to learn about one or more of the following topics: pregnancy, adoption, parenting, the Gospel according to John, abstinence, money management and men’s issues through the Men’s Fraternity program. By participating in the above way, a client is given “Mommy/Daddy Dollars” that can then be spent on baby items (i.e. diapers, crib, stroller, car seat and high chair). We are committed to helping our clients to be happy, healthy parents. We care about the emotional, physical and spiritual needs of our clients. It is our hope that the Earn While You Learn Program will be helpful in each of these areas.

Free STD Testing

Abel PRC is now offering free STD testing to anyone in our community. Our current tests are for gonorrhea and chlamydia. If you think you may have contracted a sexually transmitted disease please do not hesitate to call us to schedule an appointment. In addition to testing we have helpful and truthful information on STDs, which is also 100% free.
