Center for Pregnancy Choices (Metro Area)
For more than 33 years, the CPC Metro, along with people like you, have been offering women alternatives to abortion through Christ-centered services. We provide women in Rankin, Hinds, and Madison counties practical support that empowers them to choose life. Hope begins the moment a woman connects to our clinic through her online search for abortion. In our clinic, she will see firsthand the miracle of the life inside of her with a free ultrasound. Our trained volunteers and staff listen and encourage her as she sorts through the circumstances and the emotions surrounding her pregnancy, so that she can make an informed decision without fear or worry. We continue to walk with her through her journey beyond her decision to parent because both she and her baby deserve an opportunity to thrive.

The Bible proclaims a message of release to those in captivity to drugs, alcohol and poverty; recovery of sight to the spiritually blind, freedom to those oppressed by mental illness; and the glorious hope that we live in the favorable year of the Lord.
We can’t save anyone. That’s God’s job. Our job is to be a vessel. That’s what we are at Gateway Rescue Mission…God’s vessel to pour out His mercy on those whom He will show mercy right here in Jackson, Mississippi.
