Celebrating 39 Years of Life and Hope: Join Us in Making an Impact!

The picture above is more than just a house—it’s one of the many places where it all began. Nearly four decades ago, the Ministry of the Pregnancy Resource Center started its mission in that building on Neff Street in Maryville. One of our long-standing board members, Carolyn, remembers how they worked tirelessly on that house. It may have needed repairs, but its walls witnessed countless lives saved, hearts restored, and families transformed.

In 2019, we answered God's call to buy the building at 103 Station Drive in Maryville. Our board and CEO stood in the entryway of our new location, feeling that God was bringing us back to this spot. From the back door, you can see the land where the Neff location was, with the old stairs still visible through the overgrown grass.

As we celebrate 39 incredible years in our community, we reflect on God’s faithfulness through every step of this journey. There were moments when the future of the Pregnancy Resource Center felt uncertain, but time and time again, the Lord provided. Through the generosity of individuals, churches, and organizations, people stepped up to be His hands and feet, meeting needs and sustaining this life-affirming ministry.

Today, we invite you to be part of this legacy—because the story isn’t over yet.

A Look Back at God’s Faithfulness

Here’s a glimpse at how far we’ve come:

1986: Pregnancy Testing and Resource Center, Inc. was formed.
1987: We became a 501(c)(3) organization funded by local individuals, churches, and organizations.
2004: We moved from Neff Street to Old Niles Ferry Road, purchasing our first permanent center.
2007: With the help of Focus on the Family and NIFLA, we added ultrasound services, changing how we serve families.
2015: Launched a funding campaign to go mobile and expand our services to surrounding counties.
2017: Celebrated becoming debt-free and implemented our mobile medical unit.
2019: Moved to 103 Station Drive, gaining 1,000 square feet of beautifully renovated space.
2021: Paid off the mortgage on 103 Station Drive, thanks to generous donors.
2022: We opened our second debt-free location in Sevierville, expanding our reach to serve even more families.
2023: Upgraded to a larger mobile medical unit to better meet the needs of our community.

From a single house on Neff Street to multiple locations and a mobile unit serving countless families, the Lord’s hand has been evident in every chapter of our story. We pray that 2025 will be that open door for a new space for Sevierville. We can’t wait to see what the Lord will continue to do in and through His people!

Why Your Support Matters Now More Than Ever
