Who Are We?
Rescue the Innocent is a cross-denominational team of Silicon Valley Christians offering help and truth on abortion facility sidewalks.

Our mission is to rescue the innocent by meeting the needs of abortion-facility patients, changing minds on the morality of abortion, and petitioning God together in prayer.
Vision
Our vision is to save babies from abortion by having a rescue team on every sidewalk of every abortion facility in Silicon Valley.
Why a team?
EXTENDED IMPACT

STRENGTH IN PRAYER
With more Christians striving together in prayer, our life-saving efforts have the potential for greater fruitfulness.
MUTUAL EDIFICATION

Our Heart and History
Rescue the Innocent is a sidewalk ministry of Christ Community Church of San Jose (CCC). Members of CCC began doing outreach at the Planned Parenthood San Jose Central Health Center in March 2021. As a team, we are motivated by our love for God and our love for others; this includes the abortion facility employees, patients, and pre-born children (Matt. 22:37–39). We also believe the path of wisdom is a path of justice. Proverbs 24:11-12 says, “Rescue those who are being taken away to death; hold back those who are stumbling to the slaughter. If you say, "Behold, we did not know this," does not he who weighs the heart perceive it? Does not he who keeps watch over your soul know it, and will he not repay man according to his work?” We are grieved that our pre-born neighbors are the most oppressed and vulnerable people in our city. We see sidewalk ministry as one way the church can fulfill its calling to help the helpless and defend the defenseless (Isa. 1:17, Jam. 1:27).
