OUR MINISTRIES

Welcome to The Redeemer's Special Church's ministries section. This is a place where we strive to create a community that fosters personal growth, spiritual development, and service to others. Our ministries are designed to meet the diverse needs and interests of our congregation, providing opportunities for individuals and families to engage, connect, and grow together in faith and love with our community.

Men of Strongholds Ministry

The Men of Strongholds was founded to meet the needs of men re‑entering society because life after incarceration is a difficult and lonely journey. In Genesis 2:18 we read the narrative of the story of Man, and God notes that “it is not good that the man should be alone.” As God provided Adam a helpmate, so the Church serves as a helpmate to men who desire a fresh start—lifting them up, standing in the gap, and reflecting Christ’s love as they begin again.

Being called to prison ministry means faithfully bringing the hope of the gospel to those behind bars, affirming their dignity, restoring their identity, and inviting transformation through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. As followers of Christ, we prioritize spiritual growth through worship, prayer and Bible study, walking with these men as they discover the freedom and purpose found in Christ.
