Our Story
In July 1984 First Baptist Church of Craig opened The Yampa Valley Crisis Pregnancy Center to meet the needs of the increasing number of pregnant teens in the county. We wanted teen-age girls to have a safe place to come so offered free pregnancy tests and counsel on how to tell their parents if they were pregnant. We also were there to support them in whatever way they wanted throughout their pregnancy and after the baby was born.One of our goals from the beginning has been to serve as advocates for teens and women when they are facing an unplanned pregnancy – someone they can call with questions or concerns. In addition to free pregnancy testing, the Center provided free maternity and baby clothes, diapers, food and formula.
By 2004 the stigma of being an u***d mother had vanished. Fewer and fewer teens were coming in for tests and counsel, so we focused more and more on being a support for anyone raising an infant or toddler.
In 2005 we added a 45-lesson Earn While You Learn Program (EWYL), a self-paced curriculum with modules on the stages of pregnancy, infant care and parenting skills. Earn While You Learn opened the doors for the Center to become an even greater support for moms and dads in the community. We currently have 200 lessons on 7 topics. We are doing more than providing practical needs, we are building relationships and making a difference in the lives of parents and their infants and toddlers.
On November 25, 2007 our office at the Country Mall was completely destroyed by fire. The Pregnancy Center and eleven other businesses lost everything. Even before our Director, Debbie Rudd, had a chance to view the fire damage, First Lutheran Church of Craig offered us space in their Fellowship Hall. The community rallied to help with donations of clothes and other items new moms and dads would need. First National Bank of the Rockies established a relief account for the Center and KRAI added the Pregnancy Center to the list of agencies for in its annual Holiday Drive.
