For over 30 years, Starting Point (formerly Care Net of Knox County) has offered God’s truth and love to those with needs related to sexuality, unexpected pregnancy, family life and reproductive loss, including abortion recovery. We believe ALL life is sacred and that healthy family systems are the key to building a strong, life-affirming community.
1 in 3 women have at least one abortion by age 45, nearly 1/2 of those were church attenders
