Mission Statement

We are a faith-based organization committed to honoring God by providing excellent care, compassionate support, and honest information to those facing pregnancy decisions through authentic relationships that display grace, honor life, and foster community.

Our Story

Living Alternatives was born in the heart of one man who felt compelled by God to help women facing unplanned pregnancies or lacking the resources to care for a newborn. Since the first location opened in 1985, the ministry has steadily grown, expanding its services and reaching new communities across Illinois and Indiana.

Today, LAPRC remains committed to excellence—in both the services we provide and the genuine care we extend to every individual who walks through our doors. We are grateful for the opportunity to serve over 4,000 families each year, whether they are coming to us for pregnancy verification, parenting education, or material assistance. Each year, we ask ourselves: Where would change make the greatest impact? Then we work hard to improve how we operate and what we offer while remaining true to who we are.

Our staff and volunteers are committed to five core values: faith, integrity, excellence, respect, and compassion—every day, to everyone, in every way. We want each of our patients, clients, residents and participants to know they are fiercely loved by us and by the God who created them for a unique purpose. They are not alone.

Living Alternatives Pregnancy Resource Center is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization funded through the generosity of individuals, businesses, and churches in the communities where we serve. Because of these financial contributions and the community’s participation in our fundraising events, we are able to offer all of our services at no charge to the women and men we serve. We do not seek to gain financially from their situation. Our desire is simply to walk alongside them, offering support and encouragement as they take their next step.

LAPRC has one governing Board of Directors made up of individuals from across Illinois and Indiana. Our staff and volunteer team includes business leaders, doctors, nurses, sonographers, social workers, teachers, and many other skilled professionals. Together we are united to accomplish the mission of Living Alternatives Pregnancy Resource Center.
