As a 501 C3, Keys to Freedom Ministries seeks to restore dignity to those affected by crime and incarceration. Our efforts are focused on the spiritual and emotional needs of the inmates inside the jail as well as connecting them to community and faith-based resources upon release.
As servants we strive to follow the example of Jesus Christ who loved us and gave His life for us. Our calling is to bring the good news of the Gospel to those God calls to receive it and be a guide to those IMPACTED BY THE JUSTICE SYSTEM.
To seek out and partner with local churches and para-church organizations to cultivate strong relationships and educate the community of the real challenges and spiritual needs of the incarcerated men and women in our jails and how this affects our community!
is to restore dignity to those who have fallen into addiction and need a helping hand to return to wholeness through learning Gods plan for their lives by using God’s word as their guide!
is to be a voice of hope for the incarcerated, a voice of encouragement for our local Authorities and a faithful partner in our local Justice system!
WHO WE ARE
We minister to those inside the jails, those that have been released and families of those impacted by incarceration. We strive to introduce the incarcerated to hope available through Jesus Christ. Our prayer is that ex-offenders can return to their families with hope, to their community with a job, and to their church with a desire to serve.
OUR MISSION
Our Chaplains, having regular contact with the residents and the Correctional Staff, hope to assist with problem solving and providing calmness to the hearts and minds of those affected by Mental Illness, trauma and Substance abuse. Along with championing the Spiritual needs and programs in our jails, Our Chaplains are also here to serve in any capacity that will prove to give those coming out of the jail a firm foothold on the post-incarceration journey ahead of them. This includes discharge planning and mentorship, connect them to other resources, housing assistance and full access to our Ministry Center where those on the post-incarceration journey can access needed resources, including food, travel and clothing vouchers, access to computers, connection to employment and educational resources. We intend to bring the road of recovery full circle in connection with our community to bring hope and restoration into the lives of those affected by incarceration beginning on the inside, during their stay and assisting them with re-entry into their community!
