baby-belly-1081338__180One ministry that Barabbas Road Church in San Diego is involved with outside of the church is an organization called CAPS. CAPS stands for College Area Pregnancy Services. CAPS is a medical clinic that provides early medical help and peer counseling to those facing unexpected pregnancies. The counseling that CAPS offers includes: Options counseling (Abortion Procedures and Risks, Adoption Education and Parenting Education and Support); Pregnancy counseling (Education on Fetal Development and Physician Referrals); Relationship Counseling (Sexuality Issues, Relationship Issues and STD Risk Education).

CAPS has multiple offices located around the San Diego area, including an office close to the church in Pacific Beach. Barabbas Road Church promotes and gives to this organization because it is a tremendous blessing to the area.

One of the main benefits of this clinic is that every woman that comes through the clinic is given the Gospel. The women are also taught the value of human life based upon the image of God. The clinic is there to counsel women, to support them and to provide them with accurate information about pregnancy, fetal development, lifestyle issues, and related concerns.

Over the past year, 99% of the women that came into the clinic and saw an ultrasound stopped the abortion process. This is why Barabbas Road church is so supportive of this organization. This clinic is for anyone, regardless of age, race, income, nationality, religious affiliation, disability or other arbitrary circumstances. Everyone is welcomed to come into the clinic to get help. Even if a person just wants an Ultrasound, the clinic offers this service as well.

What makes the clinic even more special is that all of its services are free. This is also why it is important for individuals and churches like Barabbas Road church to support organizations like CAPS. The Caps offices are surrounded by advertising and support for Planned Parenthood; therefore, Barabbas Church Road in San Diego believes the free services of CAPS are very important to the community.

This is why Barabbas Road church does not hesitate to promote CAPS and to include CAPS in Barabbas Road Church activities. The mission of Barabbas Road Church is “to make ‘disciple making’ disciples through the personal investment of our lives.” Investing time and money into an organization like CAPS is part of worship in the disciple making process. Therefore, Barabbas Road church is passionate about the work that CAPS is doing.
