This discipleship program exists to help those men who have a desire to make the transition from incarceration back into the community as a transformed and productive citizen. Bethel Ministries guides and helps men make such positive changes which are necessary. We provide monitored housing in a structured Christian family setting and assist in mentoring, a church home and employment encouragement. Through a variety of classes and supportive Christian fellowship, we assist in strengthening ones practical as well as spiritual walk. One must bring total honesty and a commitment to change to the program and accept personal responsibility. Bethel believes that it is only through the power of God and faith in Christ Jesus that any person can receive the strength to overcome sin and the weaknesses of the flesh. Therefore, it is Bethel’s hope that all residents will be drawn by God into a relationship with Him and accept Jesus as Lord and Savior during their tenure with Bethel.
