78% OF OUR POPULATION HAS AT LEAST ON TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCE IN THEIR LIFE TIME!
KEYS TO FREEDOM MINISISTRIES WANTS TO HELP YOU UNDERSTAND IT!
Please join us for “TRAUMA UNPACKED” [Understanding Traumatic Experiences]
Join us for Trauma Unpacked, an event on Monday, June 19th at 5PM at our Keys to Freedom Ministries Center, 1105 E. Front St. to start your journey of healing from painful past experiences. Learn how trauma impacts us all and discover ways to begin your healing process.
Life can feel like a constant struggle, leaving you feeling angry, overwhelmed, and stuck. Many services and resources available may not address the unique needs of individuals who have been previously incarcerated. Navigating the world after incarceration can be challenging, and unaddressed trauma from past experiences can further complicate the journey.
That’s why we’re here to help. As licensed mental health professionals, we specialize in supporting individuals who are struggling with the effects of past experiences and the challenges of reintegration. Understanding how past experiences continue to influence our present lives is the first step toward healing, and Trauma Unpacked is designed to provide you with the knowledge and tools to do just that.
During Trauma Unpacked, we will explore how past traumas may be impacting your current life, and provide insights and strategies for turning toward healing. We believe that everyone, regardless of their background or past experiences, deserves support and the opportunity to heal. Trauma Unpacked is the first step on your journey toward healing past pain and finding peace in the present.
All are welcome to attend this educational event, and we encourage you to sign up now for Trauma Unpacked. Join us on Monday at 5PM at our Keys to Freedom Ministries Center, 1105 E. Front St. and take the first step towards understanding and healing your traumatic experiences.

MICHIGAN PRISONER REHABILITATION CREDIT ACT
At MPRCA, rehabilitative development is at the forefront of what we’re working together towards making available in every facility across the state of Michigan. Our programs and events are designed to be a catalyst that helps community members on both sides of the wall reach their goals and fulfill their potential. Learn more about the positive impact we have had in our state, organizing people in order to make our prisons safer by incentivizing good behavior and join us in bringing about this positive change.
The MPRCA is an opportunity for Michigan voters to support the idea of bringing the Michigan prison system in-line with the federal prison system and the vast majority of the other states in this country. Michigan is one of only a few states left in the United States that has no earned credit system available for people who are sentenced to spend time in prison. That is why we are introducing the Michigan Prisoner Rehabilitation Credit Act. This piece of legislation will allow prisoners to work on their own rehabilitation at their own pace, while also earning credits toward an early release if they choose. With the passing of this legislation prisoners will be incentivized to steer clear of violence, participate in rehabilitative programming, achieve higher education goals, enroll in training/vocation programs and work to develop their skills in preparation for their release. All of these activities are different ways that prisoners can be active leaders in their rehabilitative process. We believe that those who have truly been rehabilitated will recognize the opportunity before them, and will work hard toward not just an early release, but toward a higher education, and becoming better people for themselves, their family and community.
Keys to Freedom Ministries will strive to keep all of our volunteers and supporters informed. Here is the link to the Grand Traverse county COVID-19 Website for updates on what’s happening in our county.

We Are Keys to Freedom Ministries
“Truly I tell you, whatever you did for the least of these, you did for me.”
Our goal
Keys to Freedom Ministries seeks to restore dignity to those affected by Crime and incarceration. Ministering inside the jails, our trained Chaplains and Program Providers introduce prisoners to hope available through Jesus Christ.
Working on the outside with Churches, para-church organizations and community ministries, our goal is to support those behind bars and their families looking for restoration and a path to wholeness.
Our prayer is that ex-offenders can return to their families with restored relationships…to their community with a job….to their church with a desire to serve!
Our Vision
We want to seek out and cultivate strong relationships with our Church communities and educate them about the spiritual needs of the incarcerated men and women in the local jails. Our objective is to extend the ministry to more jails in our area.
“ I honestly cannot think of anything more effective in jail ministry than the local church body coming along side of the incarcerated.“
Our Hope
We anticipate, by having personal contact with inmates, the staff will have less violence and decreasing complaints. Having open communications with the Chaplains will hopefully alleviate frustration for those requesting help.
It is the duty of the Chaplains to work with the Sheriffs office and staff to effectively communicate to our volunteers the rules and protocol in the jail. Volunteers will have a clear chain of communication with one authority responsible for any questions or concerns they may have.
