About

Who We Are: The Founders of Coastline Women's Center are Jeannie Scott and Carter F. Smith.

God called Jeannie and Carter to found Coastline Women's Center in 2012 after their own lives and marriage were forgiven and redeemed from abortion.

Jeannie Scott Smith, LPTA, Author, Founder, and CEO of Coastline Women’s Center, speaks with passion and authority to groups of women on the serious issue of abortion, brokenness and the redemptive path to healing. She is well known for her compassionate heart as a pregnancy center counselor for women facing unplanned pregnancies, and for women who have suffered the tragedy of abortion.

In 2010, God instructed Jeannie to write about her abortion and share her testimony. Within the same year, she received her certificate from the Abortion Recovery Training Institute and her book Shattered into Beautiful: Delivering the Brokenhearted from Abortion was created. God then called her out of her comfort zone and she began accepting invitations to speak for events such as Silent No More and 40 Days of Life, as well as within churches, youth conferences, and pregnancy center fundraising banquets. Although Jeannie found her greatest joy working with women on an individual basis, God was moving her to a greater arena of ministry.

Carter F. Smith, RN, BSN, Founder, and CFO of Coastline Women’s Center, grew up in Laurinburg, North Carolina and is a graduate of Richmond Community College, Hamlet, NC and the University of Phoenix. He is the Executive Director of a hospice organization in South Carolina providing medical, social, and spiritual support to patients and families during the end stages of life.

Carter’s desire and passion for all stages of life includes a strong determination to see the end of abortion. He desires to share the hope of forgiveness, recovery, and freedom through Jesus Christ. He envisions reaching out to communities and people throughout the world to educate and counsel on this disregard for human life. Carter has shared the experience of living with the brokenness of the Jeannie’s abortion and how it almost destroyed their marriage.

He states, “By the grace of God, I have been given the opportunity to assist my wife through her journey of redemption, restoration, and salvation. This means we must have ministries mobilized to work in concert with one another—in order that entire communities might be reached for Christ—both locally and internationally. My vision is to partner with the local pregnancy crisis centers and churches to be a worldwide catalyst for abolishing abortion from the earth. And lastly, my greatest passion is to fulfill the mandate God has stamped on my life: I want to be a mechanism that transforms how people think about God, how pastors think about preaching, how churches think about their communities, and how everyday believers live out their faith at home, school, and work.”
