At Residents Encounter Christ (REC), we believe in the power of transformation and the restoration of lives. As a nonprofit jail ministry, our mission is to bring hope, healing, and spiritual guidance to those who are incarcerated.
Prison can be a dark and lonely place, where individuals often feel forgotten and abandoned. But at REC, we strive to show them that they are not alone and that there is still a chance for redemption and a better future.
Our program is centered around the idea that every person has inherent worth and the potential for change. We offer a safe and supportive environment where inmates can explore their faith, engage in meaningful discussions, and receive guidance from trained mentors.
One of the core principles of REC is the belief in the power of community. We bring together volunteers from different walks of life who are passionate about making a positive impact on the lives of those behind bars. These volunteers serve as mentors, counselors, and friends to the inmates, offering them a sense of belonging and support.
Through our various programs and activities, we aim to address the spiritual, emotional, and practical needs of the incarcerated individuals. We provide Bible studies, worship services, and prayer groups to help them deepen their faith and find solace in their relationship with God. Additionally, we offer life skills workshops, vocational training, and educational resources to equip them with the tools they need to reintegrate into society upon their release.
One of the most powerful aspects of REC is the personal stories of transformation that emerge from our program. We have witnessed countless individuals who have turned their lives around, breaking free from the cycle of crime and addiction. These success stories are a testament to the power of faith, love, and support in the journey towards rehabilitation and restoration.
Our work goes beyond the confines of the prison walls. We also provide support to the families of the incarcerated individuals, recognizing that they too are affected by the consequences of their loved ones’ actions. Through counseling, support groups, and educational resources, we strive to help these families navigate the challenges they face and find healing and hope.
As a nonprofit organization, we rely on the generosity of donors and volunteers to continue our mission. We are grateful for the support we receive from individuals and organizations who believe in the power of second chances and the potential for transformation.

Together, we can make a difference in the lives of those who are incarcerated and help restore hope and purpose to their lives.
