Jail Ministry

Our Mission

Our mission is to bring the Gospel into correctional facilities and prepare incarcerated individuals for a transformed life in Christ by:

Leading people to salvation or spiritual renewal
Providing biblical discipleship while incarcerated
Building faith, accountability, and character
Preparing individuals for successful reentry
Supporting them spiritually and practically after release

We don’t just visit inmates.
We invest in lives.

Our Spiritual Foundation

Our Jail Ministry is rooted in the truth of God’s Word and the power of redemption.

We believe:

Jesus Christ saves, restores, and transforms
No one is defined by their worst mistake
Repentance leads to new life
Discipleship produces a lasting relationship with lasting change.
God specializes in second chances

Scripture reminds us:

“I was in prison and you came to Me.” (Matthew 25:36c)

We serve because Christ first served us.

Our Discipleship-Based Jail Ministry Approach

Our ministry begins while individuals are still incarcerated and continues long after their release.

We provide discipleship through:

In-person visitation
Telephone ministry
Written correspondence
Prayer and biblical teaching
Spiritual mentoring

The goal of every interaction is clear:
lead individuals into a genuine relationship with Jesus Christ and teach them how to walk faithfully with Him.

We focus on:

Salvation and repentance
Renewing the mind through Scripture
Breaking criminal and addictive patterns
Healing from past trauma
Establishing godly identity
Preparing for responsible living

While individuals are still in custody, we walk with them consistently and intentionally.

Personal Discipleship

Through visits, calls, and letters, we provide:

Biblical teaching
Prayer and encouragement
Accountability
Guidance in spiritual growth

Gospel-Centered Teaching

We help inmates understand:

Who Jesus is
What salvation means
How to repent and live differently

Spiritual Preparation for Reentry

Before release, we begin preparing individuals for life outside by helping them develop:

Spiritual discipline
Healthy thinking patterns
Responsibility
Commitment to Christ
Connection to a Christian Family

Our Post-Release Support Services

When individuals are released, our ministry continues. We provide practical and spiritual support to help them succeed.

Housing

We house reentering men in sober living homes, providing a stable and safe foundation from which to begin their new life.

Clothing

We provide clothing so men can step forward with confidence, dignity, and self-respect.

Food

“No person will ever go hungry.”
We make sure our participants are consistently fed and nourished.

Transportation

We provide transportation so individuals can attend:

Court appointments
Probation meetings
Church services
Job interviews
Ministry programs

Phone

We assist with obtaining a cell phone so participants can stay connected to support, employment, and accountability.

Community

We provide belonging through the In His Steps family.
Participants are welcomed into healthy Christian fellowship and are taken to church where they are embraced and encouraged.

No one walks alone.

Homeless Outreach

Bi-Monthly Outreach Gatherings

Clothing: Clean, season-appropriate clothing to help restore dignity and comfort.

Hygiene Supplies: Essential hygiene items to promote health, confidence, and self-care.

Food: Nutritious meals and snacks to ensure no one leaves hungry.

Prayer and Encouragement: Personal prayer, conversation, and Gospel-centered support for every individual who desires it.
