A story of faith & community since 1993
Welcome to The Life Center, a dynamic family support center that has been serving the community since 1993. Originally known as Jay Co Pregnancy Care Center, we are proud of our dedicated volunteers who actively contribute to our mission. Our well-loved Ladies Night Out event is just one of many ways we foster connections and give back.
For over 30 years, the Center has provided services that are free and confidential, and does not turn away anyone in need of services. We can provide for others because of the generous donations of our supporters. We are a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. Our Mission is to demonstrate God’s love by providing free counseling and support to meet the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs associated with pregnancy and family care.
The Life Center's staff and volunteers have given the best they have to offer while believing that Jesus has led them to serve in this way. The Board of Directors serves the Center in full commitment and shows service over self daily.
We are a member of the Jay County Chamber of Commerce.
