Why Discipleship?

For parents who are incarcerated, discipleship can change everything.

A parent cannot parent while in prison.

For many incarcerated parents, their time in prison doesn’t just separate them from their children—it strains or even severs relationships that are crucial for both their own healing and their children’s well-being.  

A parent in prison can feel like a failure, unsure of how to relate to their children while being absent. 

Through consistent support and parenting training, we equip these parents with the tools to rebuild their relationships with their children. By fostering stronger bonds, we empower parents to break the cycle of trauma and create a healthier future for their families. 

Discipleship Changes Everything

Connection

Incarceration isolates parents from their children, severing essential relationships and support systems. 

Once relationships are strained, individuals feel alone until someone steps in, offering time, support, and genuine care.

Hope

Parents who are incarcerated struggle with feelings of failure, and providing a better future for their children seems out of reach. 

With consistent support, parents realize their circumstances don’t define them, they are not alone, and hope rises with the possibility of restoration. 

Spiritual Healing

Incarceration causes deep shame and brokenness, leaving parents feeling distant from God and unable to find healing. 

With the freedom found in Christ, deep emotional and spiritual wounds begin to heal, restoring relationships with God, self, family, and the world. 

Life Transformation

Without guidance, parents leaving incarceration struggle with barriers of strained relationships, often leading to relapse and instability. 

Transformation occurs when stability flourishes, relationships are restored, and parents not only thrive but also help their families build incarceration-free futures. 

How Do We Break The Cycle Of Incarceration?

We provide specialized programs to support parents in prison, including doula services and private placements for pregnant moms, as well as InsideOut Dads classes for fathers. These ministries are designed to restore family bonds and empower parents to actively engage in their children’s lives.

Additionally, we offer full-time chaplains for spiritual guidance, one-on-one mentorship to walk alongside parents, and discipleship that leads to a saving faith in Christ.

Through consistent support and a strong faith community, we help incarcerated parents heal from their past, rebuild relationships with their children, and find lasting freedom. 

Discipleship looks different in each stage of the journey

We recognize that each incarcerated parent has a unique journey. Our focus is on meeting them where they are with empathy and understanding, ensuring that they feel cared for as they begin their journey toward healing and transformation.

  • Doula Services: Providing physical support for pregnant mothers during pregnancy and postpartum.
  • Full-Time Chaplains: Offering consistent support and spiritual care.
  • One-on-One Conversations: Providing personalized care to build trust and offer hope.
  • Singalong Services: Creating community and connection through worship.
  • Christmas Gifts: Small gestures to show they are remembered and valued.

With consistent care and support, incarcerated parents realize their situation doesn’t define them, and they are not alone. Hope rises as the possibility of true freedom becomes clear. We walk alongside parents, helping them discover the path to an incarceration-free future.

  • Private Placements: Providing safe, caring homes for children while the mother is incarcerated.
  • Sunday Morning Services: Gathering for worship and strengthening spiritual connections.
  • Bondage to Freedom Seminars: Providing tools to overcome challenges and find freedom.
  • Regular Bible Studies: Deepening understanding of God’s Word and its transformative power.

As parents accept the freedom found in Christ, healing begins for deep emotional and spiritual wounds. We walk with them, guiding them toward restored relationships with God, themselves, others, and their children.

  • Faith in Christ: Embracing the transformative power of faith for true healing.
  • Healing from Trauma: Addressing past hurts and finding emotional and spiritual restoration.
  • Baptism: Marking a step of renewal and a public declaration of new life in Christ.

True transformation happens when incarcerated parents rebuild their lives, reconnect with their children, and become leaders and mentors. As they experience healing, grow in faith, and step into new roles, they not only stay out of prison but actively guide others toward freedom and restoration.

Their lives radiate purpose, inspiring and influencing those around them. They embrace restored relationships, thrive in a positive community, and find stability as they walk confidently in their God-given identity.
