About the Friends of EPIC
A Friend of the EPIC Center is someone who stands for life with love and compassion, supporting the EPIC Center's mission through gifts and prayer. Friends of the EPIC Center help make it possible to remove barriers to motherhood, offering life-affirming support to women and families facing unexpected pregnancies. By joining with the EPIC Center as a Friend, they empower women to choose life and strengthen families within the community. Together, Friends of the EPIC Center and the day-to-day work of the EPIC Center are creating a world where every mother feels supported, and every child has the chance to thrive.
J.R.R. Tolkien once said, “Where there is life, there is hope.” We believe each person holds an immeasurable amount of hope for the world. But we must make that hope visible for women to gain the courage to choose that hope, that life.
Our Vision
We see the uniqueness each, and every person holds. Everyone has their gifts, talents, attributes, and goodness they contribute to the world. Our vision is to see as many of these great potentials realized as possible. This means showing women facing unplanned pregnancies that they are brave, capable, and strong while providing them a glimpse of the joy they carry within them.
We see a lit path guiding women and families toward life, happiness, and promise. Together we hold the lanterns that light this journey; together, we have the potential to set the world ablaze when standing up for life.
How We Live Out Our Mission
We look for both large and small ways to guide women and young families on their journey toward choosing life, and it usually begins with something as simple as a smile.
We are sincere in our support and care; we want women to live meaningful lives without regret while making healthy decisions. That means we have to begin with support, encouragement, and compassion. We express our care and support through a warm smile, a reassuring touch, and an inviting environment.
