About Us

Who We Are

Off the Chain Ministries is a faith-based organization dedicated to helping men transform their lives during and after incarceration. Since 2005, we have served inside prisons and supported men as they re-enter society—providing spiritual guidance, mentorship, transitional housing, and a community that believes in second chances.

Our mission is simple: to offer hope, stability, and a path forward for every man seeking a new beginning.

Faith-Based Support: Bible teaching, counseling, and spiritual mentoring.

Re-entry Assistance: Safe housing, guidance, and everyday support after release.

Life Transformation: Real stories of men finding freedom, stability, and purpose.

We provide faith-based support for men during and after incarceration, including Bible studies, mentorship, counseling, and transitional housing for those re-entering society.

Men who are being released from prison or have recently returned to the community can request placement in our transition homes. Each request is reviewed individually based on availability and readiness.

Yes. Our transitional housing and re-entry support services are provided at no cost to the men we serve, thanks to donations and community support.

Length of stay depends on personal progress, employment, and individual needs. Our goal is to help each man gain stability, accountability, and independence.

Donations support transitional housing, transportation, mentorship programs, Bible study materials, and daily operational costs so we can continue serving men before and after release.
