Impact Pathway Resource Center created the Pathway Life Skills and Risk Avoidance workbook for middle-school age students and up in 2020. This medically accurate curriculum, based on scripture, addresses real-world issues youth are facing. It has been used by individual families and various groups, reaching over 250 students through Pathway volunteers, and distributing more than 1,200 copies. In April of 2022, Pathway became affiliated with CareNet, a national evangelical pregnancy center accrediting organization, and opened a Christ-centered pregnancy resource center. This past year, we serviced over 150 clients. We offer all free services including pregnancy testing and verifications, ultrasounds, parenting classes, and a Baby Boutique where clients can redeem the points they earn for coming to class for needed baby items. Pathway also hosts community Vacation Bible Schools. Over the past year, we have hosted four Bible schools at the Washington Community Center and one at the new Boys and Girls Club downtown. We have a Christmas event planned for early December.
