STRONG PARTNERSHIP: Fairview Baptist Church of Columbus recently increased
its support partnership with Life Choices Pregnancy Care Center in Columbus as
the center begins offering free limited ultrasounds and expands its Earn While You
Learn program until a child’s third birthday. Pictured at the center are, from left,
Charles Sylvest of Fairview; Regina Minga, Jeanna Frye, Jennifer Middlebrooks
and Ashley McCulloch, all of Life Choices; and Breck Ladd of Fairview. Earlier this
summer, Fairview highlighted the new limited medical program in a Sunday worship
service, followed by a drive for its members to volunteer in the center.
