About Us

Our Mission

PHC Lake of the Ozarks exists to provide faith-based resources and services that address the spiritual, physical, educational, and emotional needs of pregnant and single mothers by supporting, training, and equipping them with skills for competent living. In short, we are a faith-based 501(c)(3) ministry that seeks to promote a culture of Life!

Our Statement of Faith

1. There is one true God eternally existing in three persons – Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
2. Salvation involves the redemption of man, and is freely offered to all who accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. There is no salvation apart from personal faith in Jesus Christ.
3. We believe the Holy Scriptures are God’s infallible and authoritative word. God is the author through divine revelation and inspiration of the Holy Spirit.
