Four-Seven Ministries

Inside operations. The Four-Seven offers many programs inside of the prisons that we serve daily. We are currently serving in 6 state prisons. Examples of these programs are: weekly church service and small group time - over 32,000 attendees since our inception; undivided (racial reconciliation program) - provided to over 750 attendees; 2-day weekend retreats and service events - 1050+ attendees; fellowship events (softball, basketball, worship) - more than 800 attendees.

Reentry services; the Four-Seven offers a comprehensive reentry strategy, in planning for release of the incarcerated. Examples of these programs are: building success (20-week accountability program & teaching) - 2600+ attendees the premise of the reentry program is to assist incarcerated individuals with their release and reentry into society by providing transformational knowledge and experiences. The program is set-up with 3 key elements: inside curriculum, reentry coaching and reentry support. Additionally, in 2020-21, we have begun the process of aligning ourselves with a nationally recognized reentry program, jumpstart. We are part of the team that will bring jumpstart into the Ohio state prisons beginning in 2022.

Families ministry. The Four-Seven offers support for the families of incarcerated individuals who need help navigating life on the outside, while loved ones are on the inside. Examples of these programs are: monthly support meetings - over 650 attendees since we started in 2018; quarterly hope summit, which is an all-day event bringing in guest speakers who represent different facets of concern for the families, in an attempt to reach many of the families along the various points of their walk through the incarceration journey for their loved ones. - more than 200 attendees.
