Our Story

In 1986, at Southside Baptist Church in Lakeland, a group of believers with a passion for the Gospel and concern for the impact of abortion on unborn life discovered a way to address both by helping young women facing unplanned pregnancies. Together, they officially founded the Southside Crisis Pregnancy Center in 1987. This new ministry offered compassionate, Christ-centered help to women by providing pregnancy tests and information about the alternatives to abortion. With a focus on the Gospel and the truth about unborn life, our mission was to save lives and save souls for the Kingdom.

Southside Crisis Pregnancy Center served in this way for several years, then eventually we changed our name to A New Creation Pregnancy Center, continuing the same mission for many years to follow. Later, in 2005, with the opportunity to become a medical clinic by offering ultrasounds as part of our services, and at the recommendation of Focus on the Family, the ministry made one more change to our name—this time to A Woman’s Choice, a medical program for women. This new name would better reflect the new services we would offer and better attract women who were considering abortion.

Today, A Woman’s Choice continues to maintain the core mission and values that established our ministry when we first began. We continue to minister to women and men facing unplanned pregnancies by offering pregnancy tests, ultrasounds, education, and compassion. Yet, at the same time, our ministry has grown to offer a wide range of new programs and services that not only reach women at a point of crisis but also come alongside her to help her grow in making healthier choices for her life. We also have expanded our reach by adding a Mobile Medical Unit to our ministry in 2022. We now provide services at our Lime Street location, as well as in other areas throughout the community.

A Woman’s Choice is a 501(c)(3) organization, led by a board of directors and staffed by a dedicated group of staff and volunteers. We rely on the support of individuals, businesses, and churches in the community to partner with us to continue the work that we do.
