OUR MISSION
We walk with justice-impacted individuals and families, offering advocacy, reentry support, and spiritual care to restore hope and rebuild lives through the love of Jesus Christ.
Remember those in prison, as if you were there yourself. Remember also those beingmistreated, as if you felt their pain in your bodies.(Hebrews 13:3)
We believe a prison system can be more than a place where people “serve time.” We envision a prison system where lives are healed, transformed, and redeemed. We also want to bring awareness to the local church of our nation’s largest growing population and their role in reaching those impacted by incarceration the (incarcerated, returning citizens, family, and the community). Our goal is to reduce the recidivism rate of the justice-impacted individuals.
The Compassionate Advocate believes that people can change with the help of a renewed mind and dedicated heart of Jesus Christ.
As Christians, we believe that Jesus — who was crucified, buried, and rose from the dead— offers hope, healing, and a new purpose for each life. He can make even the most broken person whole again. Those who once broke the law are transformed to serve their neighbors, replacing the cycle of crime with a cycle of
"'The King will reply, "Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least
of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me."'(Matthew 25:40a)
Remember those in prison, as if you were there yourself. Remember also those being
mistreated, as if you felt their pain in your bodies.(Hebrews 13:3)
We Believe
...the Bible is the written word of God, inspired by the Holy Spirit and without error in the original manuscripts. The Bible is the revelation of God's truth and is infallible and authoritative in all matters of faith and practice.
...in the Holy Trinity. There is one God, who exists eternally in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
...that the Holy Spirit draws people to Christ, indwells God's people, giving them the strength and wisdom to trust Christ and follow Him and imparts spiritual gifts to believers.
...that all are sinners and totally unable to save themselves from God's displeasure, except by His mercy.
...that salvation is by God alone as He sovereignly chooses those He will save. ...His choice is based on His grace, not on any human individual merit or foreseen faith.
...that Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, who through His perfect life and sacrificial death atoned for the sins of all who will trust in Him, alone, for salvation.
...that God is gracious and faithful to His people not simply as individuals but as families in successive generations according to His Covenant promises.
...that the Holy Spirit indwells God's people and gives them the strength and wisdom to trust Christ and follow Him.
...that Jesus will return, bodily and visibly, to judge all mankind and to receive His people to Himself.
...that all aspects of our lives are to be lived to the glory of God under the Lordship of Jesus Christ.
