What We Do

Empower is an interactive, abstinence-based class for students in grades 7-12, promoting the delay of sex as the best and healthiest choice. Through our evidence-based curricula, Choosing the Best and Love Notes, students learn about essential life skills such as goal-setting, decision making, healthy relationships, refusal skills, and character building, while equipping them to avoid at-risk behaviors such as drug and alcohol usage and teen sexual activity. All of our lessons are medically accurate and culturally relevant. 

Our Connection Arm is all about meeting people where they are—especially those most at risk. Through our I Know a Place campaign, we are engaging college campuses with an intentional and consistent presence. By hosting regular campus events, placing materials in high-traffic areas, and partnering with faculty and counseling staff, we are creating opportunities to build meaningful relationships and a foundation of trust. These proactive efforts ensure that when a student faces an unplanned pregnancy, she doesn’t have to navigate it alone. Instead, she can confidently say, “I know a place.”

Through our Intervention Arm, Parkgate compassionately steps into the crisis of an unplanned pregnancy with personalized care, nonjudgmental support, and truthful information about all her options. In our Clinic, women are seen, heard, and informed—never rushed, never judged. We offer completely free and confidential services including pregnancy testing, ultrasounds, and pregnancy decision coaching, creating a safe space where every woman can pause, process, and feel empowered to make a well-informed choice.

We understand that choosing life is just the beginning of a much bigger journey. That’s why our Extension Arm is committed to walking alongside moms, dads, and families well beyond the initial decision. Through One By One mentoring for moms, fatherhood mentorship, parenting classes, and tangible support from our baby closet, we provide personalized, grace-filled care every step of the way. 

We also recognize that some carry the weight of a past abortion, often for years. Our Abortion Recovery Care ministry meets each woman right where she is—whether her abortion was four months ago or forty years ago—offering an 8-week Bible study that gently guides her toward healing. Through this Christ-centered process, women discover hope, freedom, and the deep forgiveness available through Jesus.
