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 Center for Violence Prevention has a twenty-four hour crisis and referral line to assist in immediate needs. Trained personnel will provide a wide range of references and resources.

Under the leadership of Rev. James Daniels, Chelsea Presbyterian Church is a church plant of the EPC in Chelsea, AL, just outside of Birmingham.  They are currently worshipping at Chelsea Middle School (2321 City Rd 39, Chelsea, AL 35043) on Sundays at 10:30 am.  You can find out more about them by visiting www.chelseapres.org. 

Crossroads Ministries is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization for women coming from prison. They struggle with addiction and more, needing education, life skills, and a safe place as they regain their self-worth. Women represent the fastest-growing segment of the criminal justice system (PEW Center, 2008) increasing by 757% between 1977 and 2004, a rate nearly two times the percent increase in the male offender population (Frost, Green, & Pranis, 2006). The number of women involved in the US criminal justice system doubled during the 1990s (Beck, 2000). An estimated 68 of every 100,000 U.S. women are serving time in a state or federal prison (Sabol, West, & Cooper, 2009).

While each case is unique, the common denominator among all of our women is that they need HELP. Our ultimate goal is to provide a shelter for homeless women coming out of incarceration so that they can HEAL through classes and small group therapy that will educate them in every area that is needed in their lives; along with assisting them to restore family relationships and become strong women of faith. The main focus of all our programs is to show our ladies that they can have HOPE for their future. And to know that they are loved by their community and God.

Are there really people from “Unreached People Groups” living here in the US?
Fourteen million people from “unreached people groups” – 4.2% of the US population – woke up today in spiritual darkness, blind to the glory and love of Jesus. Just as we endeavor to reach the unreached around the world, we also endeavor to reach the fourteen million unreached God has brought to our very doorsteps. These immigrants, international students, and refugees are “the diaspora.”

We also offer programs for those seeking biblical life transformation.

At Gateway Rescue Mission, we preach the Good News of Jesus Christ to the poor. 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.
