Frequently Asked Questions

Q: I need to talk to someone. Do I need to make an appointment or can I just walk in?
A: No appointment is necessary. We will assist you as soon as you contact us.

Q: What type of services do you offer?
A: We offer a variety of services, all of them at no charge. We offer pregnancy testing, guidance, ultrasound, and referrals. We also offer assistance with maternity and baby clothing, and baby supplies, such as formula, diapers, and blankets.

Q: Are all your services really free? What’s the catch?
A: Yes, all our services are offered at no charge and are completely confidential. We’re here to help you (there is no catch!).

Q: Do you give referrals to local doctors?
A: Yes we do. We can provide you with a number of local physician referrals.

Q: Do you give referrals for contraception?
A: No, we do not. The CPC does not recommend, provide, or refer single women for contraceptive. (Married women seeking contraceptive information should be urged to seek counsel, along with their husbands, from their pastor or physician.)

Q: Does the CPC give referrals, for those who are determined to get an abortion, to abortion clinics? To Planned Parenthood of Amarillo & the Texas Panhandle, or other Planned Parenthood agencies?
A: No, the CPC is committed to creating an awareness with the local community of the needs of pregnant women, and of the fact that abortion only compounds human need rather than resolving it. However, the Centers are committed to helping victims of abortion as well as others who are hurting from pregnancy loss to become recipients of the Lord’s healing balm.

Q: Do you give referrals to adoption agencies?
A: The CPC’s highest priority is to minister to women in crisis pregnancies. The CPC does not become directly involved in placements of referrals to non-licensed intermediaries, or prospective adoptive parents; though there are several agencies to which we can refer you.

Q: Do CPC staff or volunteers picket, or participate in sidewalk counseling or other acts of civil disobedience?
A: No. Our staff and volunteers show empathy and compassion to those who are in the midst of a crisis. We believe that the ability to do this would be jeopardized if employees or volunteers were observed by clients or others participating in such actions.

Q: Is the CPC a political agency; does the CPC participate in state, local, or federal politics; or does the agency endorse political candidates?
A: No, the CPC is a locally organized and funded nonprofit 501-C3 ministry that relies solely upon support of Amarillo. Volunteers and staff are prohibited from picketing, sidewalk counseling, and acts of civil disobedience, on or off work hours. However, this policy does not limit individuals from participating in other political activities during their own time.
