Juveniles for Jesus








J.F.J. Ministries is built on 3 primary core programs. All are Christian-based, volunteer-driven, and connected with church and community. These carefully planned and implemented core programs fuel the vision of "Lighting the way to hope, healing and restoration through Christ Jesus" for every incarcerated youth.

The Way is a group of programs that are offered on facility grounds to incarcerated youth. All outreach programs are run by local community church volunteers who join and are then trained under the JFJ Ministry structure.

The Way includes a variety of programs, such as:

  - Weekly Bible study
- Monthly church service and meal
- Life skills (GED, cooking, computers, etc.)
- Pen pal and mentoring programs
- Recreational (Basketball, Crafts, Gardening, Choir, etc.)

The Anchor of Hope home program is under research & development. Our goal is to one day offer Christian run short term housing.

The purpose of this program will be to provide released youth a safe transition back to the world.


The Promise program is under development to become an off- site center offered to incarcerated youth upon their release. The Promise is an extension of the Way program offered during the juveniles' incarceration period.
