Approximately 1.2 million people in the U.S. are incarcerated at any given time, representing one of the most unchurched populations in our country. We are on a mission to change that. We will stop at nothing to ensure every inmate in the U.S. has direct and personal access to the Gospel. We want to help them grow their faith, heal trauma and emotional wounds, break addictions and cycles, and allow every person behind bars to step into their calling as sons and daughters of the Most High.

It’s a simple fact that less than 20% of inmates are serving life sentences, and up to as many as 95% of all incarcerated individuals will be released back to society at some point. About 37% of those released will return to prison within three years, and over 80% will be rearrested within ten years. God Behind Bars addresses this drastic recidivism problem with a unique approach that focuses on the spiritual, physical, and relational needs of inmates and their families.
