What does radical love look like in practice? 🤍

At the Warrenton Pregnancy Center, it means meeting women exactly where they are—with grace, compassion, dignity, and an open heart.

In this moment from our October Edition of Growing Gainesville, Patrick shares how their faith shapes the way they serve: choosing to lead with the kind of mercy and unconditional love that reflects Christ, especially when someone is walking through one of the most vulnerable moments of their life.

This is faith in action. This is radical love. 🤍

🎥 This is just a small part of the conversation! Head over to our page to watch the full October interview with Warrenton Pregnancy Center.

Some businesses are defined by what they provide. Others are defined by how they choose to serve.

In this month’s edition of Growing Gainesville, Lesley Salman of Salman Homes and Jacobs & Co. Real Estate sits down with Patrick, Executive Director of the Warrenton Pregnancy Center, to share how their faith influences every person who walks through their doors.

For WPC, serving their community means leading with grace, compassion, dignity, and an open heart—especially when someone is facing one of the most vulnerable moments of their life. Their mission is centered on seeing the person first, meeting her where she is, and surrounding her with the kind of mercy and love that reflects Christ.

It’s a powerful reminder that faith can be more than something we believe—it can shape how we lead, how we work, and how we care for the people God places in our path.

This is what radical love in action looks like. 🤍
Watch the October Edition of Growing Gainesville to hear more about the heart behind the Warrenton Pregnancy Center and the impact they’re making in our community.
