The Mission
Bringing the gospel to the prisoners and connecting them to resources to provide holistic discipleship during and after incarceration

Scripture supporting The Mission

All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.
(2 Timothy 3:16-17 ESV)

The Vision
Prisoners & former prisoners with renewed minds glorifying God and enjoying him.

Scripture supporting The Vision
Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. 
(Romans 12:2 ESV)


The Strategy
Holistic Discipleship in Four Tiers


The Gospel (Matthew 28:18-20)

Emphasis is bringing the Gospel message of salvation to non-believers and that the Gospel is more then a means to salvation to new believers by teaching core Reformed Christian doctrines, identifying false gospels and why we need the Gospel daily and an introduction to the character of a Soldier of Christ 

Discipleship (2 Timothy 3:16-17)
Emphasis is a maturing sanctification by teaching Bible interpretation, prayer life, preaching the Gospel daily to one self and applying the probabilities of 2 Timothy 3:16, reaping the harvest of 2 Timothy 3:17 and taking on character of a Soldier of Christ.

Christian Daily Living (Romans 12:1-2)
Emphasis is in the renewing of the mind by transformation of the mind through Christian based cognitive thinking and applying the transformed thinking mindset in their role of being incarcerated, marriage, fatherhood, employment, and community by exhibiting in daily life the Character of a Soldier of Christ.

Proactive Re-entry (Ephesians 6:10-20)
Emphasis is preparing towards re-entry, and encountering the daily trials of re-entry and to be steadfast in glorifying God during trails by putting on the armor of God and being a fully prepared and equipped Soldier of Christ.
