Richland Pregnancy Services

God's provision has allowed us to pay off our building in 2024!  This Capital Campaign journey kicks-off MORTGAGE FREE!  Moving forward in faith to increase our services and better accommodate the volunteers who make the ministry possible!   This Capital Campaign will provide for a building renovation that addresses several key needs:

Dad to dad mentors encourage, equip and empower dads to be a supportive and active part in the role of parenting - even before baby has even been born!To create a dedicated Men's Ministry area that provides a place where men waiting in the waiting area can be made to feel welcome and where they can be given options counseling and education on how to support the mother of the baby.  Dad to Dad mentoring will also be held in this space.

To increase client confidentiality, RPS has a lot of open ceiling space that makes client confidentiality difficult at times.  The enclosure of strategic areas will be to ensure the client that their conversations are kept confidential.

To expand areas needed for volunteers that are Client Advocates, Nurse Advocates or Mentor Moms.

To create a safe and accessible space for training and education.  RPS currently has a training room on the upper level that is only accessible by stairs.  This can be very limiting for those who would like to volunteer but cann manage stairs easily.  It is also difficult for moms coming in for parenting classes and are later in their pregnancy to safely maneuver the stairs. 

How does Richland Pregnancy Services meet needs in this community?

RPS is a medical facility that operates under a medical doctor with Registered nurses on staff. Services include free medical-grade pregnancy tests that can verify a pregnancy as well as limited ultrasounds for women who are not yet under the care of a doctor to confirm the placement and viability of the baby.  We also provide free testing for sexually transmitted infections and diseases for anyone regardless of income. 

Our goal is for more women facing decisions about their pregnancy to be directed to us to find a safe place to verify and process their pregnancy and receive compassion and support from our volunteers and staff.

We provide a shoulder to lean on for women and men who need support.

Every day we help women who are experiencing confusing and challenging situations and are in need of our support. Unfortunately, people in their lives are telling them that abortion is an easy and simple “solution.” Because we understand the long-term effects & consequences of that decision, we approach each client with compassion and education.  Each woman is given all the facts to be fully informed in making their choice.  

Our primary concern is our clients’ well-being, which is why we do not charge them for any of our services.

An ultrasound image is used to determine how far along a woman is in her pregnancy, detect a fetal heartbeat, and gauge a few other important factors during the early stages of pregnancy.  So far in 2024 we have performed 138 ultrasounds.

STD testing will decrease a woman’s chances of health risks that can make a pregnancy more difficult, such as serious infections and Pelvic Inflammatory Disease. The health and safety of men are also important, we provide free STD testing and treatment to both men and women.
