Our hope is that when someone leaves jail they would be welcomed with open arms into the local church to help nurture their new life in Christ. We need advocates in the local church who are willing to assist in helping returning citizens find their place in your church community.

About us

Reach the Forgotten Jail Ministry is a biblically-based, chaplain-led, volunteer ministry. We provide hope in Michigan county jails by teaching, preaching, and showing the love of Jesus Christ. We believe that every inmate that returns home can start a new life, become a productive citizen, and never return to jail.
