An Inspired Woman and Her Church

In spring 1997, Sue Anderson presented her vision to Frederick Boulevard Baptist Church to support abortion-minded women in St. Joseph, Missouri. The church provided financial backing, allowing Sue to become the first director. By November 1998, the “Heartbeat” ministry opened in the church basement, beginning its mission to serve women in crisis.

Brought About a Medical Clinic…

After eight years of growth, the dream of becoming a medical clinic was realized. In March 2006, Heartbeat became the St. Joseph Pregnancy Resource Clinic, incorporated as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and opened at its current location.

Services Expanded…

St. Joseph PRC continues to expand its services, offering crisis pregnancy clinic appointments, prenatal parenting classes, maternity clothing giveaways, and post-abortion support groups. Through these services, we provide vital information and resources to women in need.

The Vision Is Upheld…

St. Joseph PRC aims to be a refuge for pregnant and post-abortive women while advocating for unborn babies. Grounded in the hope of Jesus Christ, we strive to honor Him through our work and partnerships, making a positive impact on lives.
