History

In April of 1994, the Crisis Pregnancy Center of Columbia held it’s Grand Opening and first annual Walk for Life. This was a culmination of over a year of prayer and work by a group of believers led by Cynthia Leach as organizer. These Columbia citizens felt that as representatives of Jesus Christ they must offer love, truth and support to those most vulnerable to the tragedy of abortion - the mothers and their unborn babies.

Linda Casner was the first Director and Suzanne Young was Assistant Director. At that time they were located in the breezeway of Northway Plaza. They offered free pregnancy testing, factual information and material support to those in unplanned pregnancies, abstinence education, and emotional support to those who had experienced abortion.

Several years later under the directorship of Suzanne Young, and eventually Kim Scruggs, the name was changed to A Woman’s Place and the location moved to South Garden Street.

In 2008, in an effort to better serve the community by emphasizing ministry to men and families as well, the name changed once again to  Pregnancy Center of Columbia. Also that year, the center purchased and moved to their current location at 704 Dunnington Street.

In 2006, the center affiliated with CareNet, a national network of pregnancy centers which provides training, consultation, accountability, and high standards of professionalism.

Though changes in name, location, and leadership has been a part of our history, in the last sixteen years of service, the mission and vision has remained the same and hundreds of families have been touched with the love of Christ.
