Caroline, a struggling mother with a child in foster care, visited us last year for an ultrasound. She couldn't admit out loud that she was considering abortion but explained that she couldn't financially handle another baby and wasn't in a relationship with the father.

We are blessed with an incredible team of devoted staff and volunteers who joyfully and selflessly serve the Lord here at Crossroads. We consider everyone to be a part of our Crossroads family. However, we still have several positions that need to be filled.
"If our church were to disappear tomorrow, would anyone notice?"
Recently, a local pastor posed a thought-provoking question to his congregation: "If our church were to disappear tomorrow, would anyone notice?" This question inspired his church members to seek opportunities to serve in the community. It is a brilliant and excellent question for followers of Christ. As stated in Acts 20:35, "In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work, we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.'"

Bart's* life has taken a noticeable turn since he entered the doors of Crossroads with his pregnant girlfriend. They were both excited about this pregnancy. But Bart carried a heavy burden from his past—a previous girlfriend had terminated a pregnancy without his consent, leaving him devastated.

I began working at Crossroads in October and was grateful for the generous orientation period that had been wisely planned by Tresa and Cindy. During those five months, I had been working on refreshing and expanding my OB knowledge base, taking a 30-hour didactic course online through Heartbeat International, learning ultrasound scanning techniques from Tresa, and traveling to California to complete the clinical component of Heartbeat’s ultrasound training.
I was keenly aware that Crossroads had invested an abundance of time and money in my training, and I felt a sense of responsibility to ensure that those investments were not all in vain.

Don’t Let all the hype fool you.
This past year the overturning of Roe V. Wade was monumental. It was a celebration for the conservatives. But most of us understand that though abortion laws have been turned over to the states, Pennsylvania still allows it. After the November elections, it is pretty clear it will remain that way for some time.
The media has pushed the agenda that women are angry. Women want abortions and they know “all the facts.” Pregnancy centers are the enemy, so the politicians say. Centers like Crossroads supposedly give misleading information.
It’s not at all the case. I’ll tell you from experience.
