Through God Comes Justice Ministries exists to share the hope and transforming love of Jesus Christ with inmates, their families, and those who serve within the jail system.
We meet people in some of life’s darkest moments, offering prayer, the Word of God, and one-on-one spiritual support often within hours of their arrival. Through faithful chaplaincy, volunteer-led services, and ongoing outreach, we walk alongside individuals and families as God restores lives, rebuilds homes, and strengthens our community.
Vision
“To see lives transformed by Jesus Christ, families restored, and communities strengthened... where every life impacted by incarceration encounters true hope, lasting change, and a future filled with freedom.”
The Heart of the Ministry
When a parent is behind bars, the sentence is often felt far beyond the cell, by children, families, and hearts searching for hope.
The heart of this ministry is relationship and presence.
Our chaplains step into life’s hardest moments, offering one-on-one spiritual guidance, prayer, and the truth of God’s Word to those facing crisis, grief, and brokenness. From daily ministry inside the jail to delivering death notifications with compassion and care, they bring light into places that feel dark.
As lives are touched within the walls, that impact reaches into families, children, and the community, where God restores what was broken and renews hope.
With two chaplains and a growing team of volunteers, we walk alongside individuals and families each day, reminding them they are seen, valued, and not alone.
