About Us
Celebrating 30 Years in Ministry
From the first baby born on August 3, 1995, over 700 lives have been welcomed through the work of the Family Life Center—each one a reflection of God’s love and your faithful support. What began in 1994 as a vision from Bud Althoff, Loretta Koester, Dr. Henry Poterucha, and Linda Cozadd has grown from a one-story home near the hospital to a thriving medical facility.
Thanks to your generosity, that vision has become a reality. Your prayers, donations, and encouragement empower us to serve men, women and families across our three centers. We are deeply grateful for the hundreds of volunteers, the thousands of hours of prayer, and every gift that has helped us stand in the gap for the vulnerable.
As Psalm 46:5 proclaims, “God is within her, she will not fall; God will help her at break of day”. May we continue to be His hands and feet, helping her through life’s circumstances.
Our Mission
Our Mission is to provide practical assistance, education, and support to empower and equip women, men, and families experiencing pregnancy, parenting, and related issues, to live healthy, productive lives.
Our Vision
Our Vision is to uphold the sanctity of all human life through word, action, and deed within our ministry and in our community as a whole, believing that in unifying efforts, we will roll back the culture of death that is at work in our nation and around the world. We stand firm on Biblical principles and with faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, work for LIFE until abortion is unwanted and unthinkable. Until that day, we will serve with compassionate care and integrity, striving to become the premier providers of pro-life education and facilitators of abundant family life.
