Converted over from an unused kitchen, it is now a place of faith, hope, and love. We provide more than religious services to the population; we provide hope of a better life and a brighter future through acts of love and kindness. The ministry program consists of over 120 volunteers, many churches and pastors, as well as community leaders. The goal is to reduce the inmate population by discipleship through strategies such as mentoring, recovery support programs, life skills training, after care and community reintegration, family reconciliation, and restoration.
