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
At the EPIC Center, we envision a community where every person is empowered to choose life, every child is cherished, and every family is supported to flourish through the love of Christ.
This is more than a statement, it’s our daily goal. Through free ultrasounds, parenting classes, material support, and Christ-centered care, we walk alongside women and families facing unplanned pregnancies with compassion and hope.
By supporting EPIC, you are helping to build a culture of life in Eastern North Carolina, a place where no parent walks alone, and every life is given the chance to thrive.
Together, we can make this vision a reality.
How We Live Out Our Mission
Our mission is to empower women to choose life and ensure parents have the support they need to thrive in early parenthood.
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.
Later, we furnish our clients with essential services for their health and safety and provide them with the insight they need. Our free services include the following:
-
Pregnancy Tests and Limited Ultrasounds performed by licensed medical staff
-
Options Education

Resources and Supplies

Post-Abortion Healing and Support
By providing essential services and supportive care, we wish to be the flicker of hope each woman contemplating abortion sees. We want to give her courage in a welcoming, judgment-free environment, helping her to understand she is not alone.
Our Impact
At the EPIC Center, 2024 was a year of incredible impact, made possible by the unwavering support of our donors, volunteers, and community. Together, we empowered women to choose life, strengthened families, and shared the hope of the gospel with those facing unplanned pregnancies.
