HISTORY

Arches New Hope Pregnancy Center was incorporated in July 2003 and opened its doors to clients in April 2004. Debbie Nelson gathered together a group of individuals who shared her vision of starting a local pregnancy center, many of whom are still involved in the Pregnancy Center, and they became the first Board of Directors.

Over 20 volunteers have been trained as counselors, mentors, and receptionists. Ten churches have worked together to provide resources, volunteers, board members and finances. Over 40 businesses and over 300 individuals and businesses have come along side to join in this ministry by financially supporting the pregnancy center. God continually provides direction, protection, workers, finances and clients for this ministry. Some of you have expressed that your lives have been transformed as a result of being involved with Arches New Hope Pregnancy Center.
