Start a Jail or Prison Reentry Ministry

Build a Bridge from Incarceration to Transformation

Whether your ministry serves inside correctional institutions or walks alongside returning citizens in the community, Stay Out For Good offers a powerful path forward. Through our Reentry Course and year-round Reentry Life Groups, you can help formerly incarcerated individuals and their families grow spiritually, reconnect with purpose, and stay out for good.

Jail & Prison Ministries may start this program inside correctional facilities or outside in their local community, depending on reach and access. Either way, we provide the structure, support, and spiritual resources to make your impact lasting.

Phase Two: Stay Out For Good Reentry Life Groups

After completing the Reentry Course, participants are invited to join weekly Stay Out For Good Reentry Life Groups—ongoing, Christ-centered support communities designed to last all year long.

These groups may be held:

• Online, for those without a local group or who prefer virtual participation

Life Group Elements

• Biblical Teaching – Applying God’s Word to everyday life after incarceration
• Peer Support – Building trust and community through shared experiences
• Mentorship & Prayer – Spiritual guidance, encouragement, and intercession
• Continued Discipleship – Developing integrity, accountability, and healthy habits

Each group follows the Stay Out For Good Reentry Life Group Curriculum, supported by a detailed Leader Guide—perfect for ministry leaders, volunteers, and community partners.

These groups provide a safe, loving space for continued spiritual growth and personal transformation, bringing hope and consistency to the reentry journey.
