We believe that:
Alternate Avenues is an outreach ministry of Jesus Christ through His church. Therefore, Alternate Avenues, embodied in its volunteers, is committed to presenting the gospel of our Lord to women in crisis pregnancies - both in word and in deed when the opportunities present themselves. Commensurate with this purpose, those who labor as Alternate Avenues board members, directors, and volunteers are expected to know Christ as their Savior and Lord.
Alternate Avenues is committed to providing clients with accurate and complete information about both prenatal development and abortion.
Alternate Avenues is committed to helping women carry their babies to term by providing emotional support and practical assistance. Through the provision of God's people, and the community at large, women may face the future with hope and plan constructively for themselves and their babies.
Alternate Avenues never discriminates in providing services because of the race, creed, color, national origin, age, or marital status of its clients.
Alternate Avenues never advises, provides, or refers for abortion or abortifacients.
Alternate Avenues offers assistance free of charge at all times.
Alternate Avenues is committed to creating an awareness within the local community of the needs of pregnant women, and of the fact that abortion only compounds the crisis, rather than resolving it.
Alternate Avenues equally supports the life saving alternatives of adoption and parenting. Alternate Avenues is not affiliated with any adoption agency or adoption attorney. For clients seeking these services (legal, professional, or other) we provide referrals.
Alternate Avenues supports and promotes chastity (sexual abstinence) before marriage and offers practical instruction and counsel to that end.
Alternate Avenues does not engage in contraceptive counseling or in referring for contraceptives, nor contraceptive services. Married couples seeking contraceptive information should be referred to their physician as Alternate Avenues does not take a stand on this issue.
Alternate Avenues provides hope and counseling to women and men who have personally experienced the pain of abortion.
