About MPS

Established in 1985, Muskegon Pregnancy Services has been serving the greater Muskegon community by providing a place of sanctuary for women and girls who are experiencing crisis during pregnancy. Over the years our free and confidential services have expanded to meet the growing needs and circumstantial patterns we have observed in this population. From the first question, “Could I be pregnant?”, to the birth of a baby and sometimes years beyond, Muskegon Pregnancy Services provides answers, direction, support, training, encouragement, and hope as we endeavor to make an eternal impact on lives in the name of Christ.

Mission Statement
We exist to empower women and men to make life-affirming decisions regarding pregnancy through counseling, education, compassionate care, material aid, and through the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Vision Statement
It is the vision of Muskegon Pregnancy Services to see the option of abortion in the Muskegon community as unthinkable due to the educational, emotional, physical, and spiritual services provided by our ministry to those who face uncertainty or crisis during pregnancy. As we serve God by being the “go to” agency for possible pregnancy, it is our vision that we will be a conduit of Christ’s love and an agent of change, eternally impacting lives, one (or two) at a time.

She lives in Whitehall with her husband and has four grown children and eleven grandchildren. She is a member of New Era Reformed Church.

“My passion is the amazing gift of life – not only for precious preborn babies but for their parents who need to know that God adores them enough to give His son as payment in full for their sins. He has a plan, He is in control, and He is good all the time.”

“Before knowing Christ I could have been one of the girls walking through our door. I know personally how Jesus Christ can fill your emptiness and loneliness and give hope for tomorrow. There is no greater gift I could offer our clients then to share what He’s done in my life. In Him is life, He’s why I am here.”
