ABOUT US
The Peace Pregnancy Support Centre (PPSC) is a Christian, faith-based charitable organization located in Dawson Creek, BC.
At the PPSC, we envision a community where all those facing an unplanned, challenging, or lost pregnancy can find hope and healing.
Our mission includes filling the existing gaps in support by offering services in areas like compassionate care during pregnancy loss, which encompasses miscarriage, stillbirth, neonatal death, and post-abortion recovery, as well as sexual risk-avoidance education for youth.
And we endeavor to ensure that our clients become aware of the relevant support services that are available within the community.
​​
We believe that “where there’s help, there’s hope” and all support is offered to clients at no cost regardless of their race, religion, creed, national origin, age, gender, sexuality, lifestyle, or any other arbitrary circumstance.​​
​
We are Pro-Woman, Pro-info, Pro-Family
This means we are committed to supporting women through crises or sorrow, striving to provide assistance at every stage of their journey. We offer our clients ongoing emotional and practical support—before, during, and after pregnancy, irrespective of the outcome.
When a client's pregnancy test is negative, we offer educational resources focusing on fostering healthy relationships.
During pregnancy, women are respectfully extended valuable, accurate, up to date information and assistance through options and prenatal education.
After pregnancy we offer a nurturing and secure community, aiming to provide programs such as a mom’s & tots group, parenting classes, as well as access to free baby supplies.
We offer compassionate care and are working on forming support groups for anyone who has experienced pregnancy loss or abortion.
Men and family members are considered separate clients and are given the same safe space to sort through their questions, concerns, grief, or other stressors.
This Centre is entirely client led in regards to what support and information is offered. We offer a range of information and resources, but we respect each client’s wishes by supplying only what they wish to receive.* Each client is compassionately cared for as a unique individual with specific and distinct needs.​
​
The PPSC is overseen by the Peace Pregnancy Support Society (PPSS) Board of Directors, and are privileged to be affiliated with Pregnancy Care Canada (PCC). Through an annual fee process, the PCC provides training, resources, and support, access to online training modules for Centre staff, board, and volunteers, along with recurrent training seminars. These resources enable us to provide consistent standards and quality of care.
That being said, our affiliation with them in NO WAY suggests that PCC endorses us, our products or services, or that the editorial content on our site has been authored by, or represents the view or opinions of, Pregnancy Care Canada. We are a completely separate entity.
​
All our services are free and confidential.

PPSC Mission and Vision
We strive to make our Centre a safe place that offers compassionate support and accurate information on pregnancy options, sexual health, and post-abortion care.
In a time of crisis or grief, the PPSC provides its clients with ongoing emotional and practical assistance while ensuring their awareness of pregnancy, adoption and parenting support services already available. We will also seek to offer services and care where gaps in support currently exist – for example, in pregnancy loss support (including miscarriage, neonatal death and post-abortion) and in sexual risk-avoidance education for youth.
​
While not a medical clinic or health care facility, this unique Christian ministry offers a local helpline, free pregnancy tests, individual or group grief support, confidential options counseling, community referrals, and practical material resources to all those in need.
In Loving Memory...
In late 2021, the Peace Pregnancy Support Centre underwent the devastating loss of our dear friend and Executive Director, Susan Stagg.
Susan's leadership and passion for this special ministry left a lasting mark on our community and all those who interacted with her. In the challenging time since her passing, along with the conditions surrounding the Covid pandemic, the Board found her shoes to be difficult ones to fill.
​
In 2023, armed with renewed enthusiasm and energy, and by the grace of God, our updated Board of Directors successfully secured an Executive Director and Administrative Assistant to re-launch this important community ministry.
We re-opened on Feb 14, 2024 and are so thankful to be serving our community once again. We ask for your prayers and continued support as we rebuild and continue on the good work that God started here and that we know Susan would certainly hope to see continue and grow.
