The Freedom House Ministries is a short term Christian
living center. We provide a Christ-centered, home-like setting in which
those in need make a successful transition from prison to life as
productive citizens and men of faith.
This ministry is a community effort that involves churches, leaders,
elected officials, and every Saint who cares to become involved.
Many Christian organizations minister to the prison
community, including Prison Fellowship and the Kairos Prison Ministry.
These ministries believe that it is only a change of heart (toward Christ)
that can bring about permanently changed life-styles. However, even among
those who find Christ in prison, there is a tendency to slide back into
their old ways when they are released and find themselves in the "old
neighborhood" without a constructive support system.

On February 25, 2003 a group of men and women representing a
broad range of Christian churches in the Grand Valley came together with
the view to establishing Freedom House Ministries. Building on the
fundamental principles of other successful Prison Aftercare programs.
Freedom House Ministries has
built upon their training and vision to open a program here in the Grand
Valley. |
