"I was in prison, and you came to Me." Matthew 25:36

We all need Jesus, including men and women who are incarcerated. We believe true freedom—both now and eternally—only comes from the blood of Jesus. Through discipleship, worship services, pastoral care, and leadership development, BRAVE Prison Campuses bring the hope of Jesus Christ to those behind prison walls and help develop inmate leaders who can impact others for the Gospel. We currently have BRAVE Campuses inside the Buena Vista Correctional Complex (Colorado DOC), as well as the ADX Supermax in Florence (Federal Bureau of Prisons).

Our Mission

BRAVE Prison Campuses seek to:

Share the Gospel: Proclaim the hope and freedom found in Jesus Christ to those in prison, offering them a path to spiritual renewal

Heal and Restore: Minister to the emotional and spiritual wounds of inmates, helping them find healing through a relationship with Jesus

Support Families: Provide care and encouragement to the families of the incarcerated, fostering connection and hope as they await reunification

Break the Cycle of Recidivism: Equip individuals with biblical truth and practical support to live transformed lives, reducing the likelihood of repeat incarcerations

What We Do

Our ministry operates in local correctional facilities, where we engage with inmates and their families through:

Preaching and Bible Studies: Our team delivers powerful, biblically grounded messages and leads Cadres (small groups) to disciple inmates, helping them grow in their faith and understanding of God’s Word

Worship and Prayer: Spirit-led worship and prayer invites God’s presence to bring hope and healing to those behind bars

Family Support: We connect with families on the outside, offering encouragement, resources, and community to help them navigate the challenges of having a loved one incarcerated

Aftercare Support: Once inmates are released, we connect them with aftercare ministries to help them reintegrate into society. They are provided mentorship, resources, and spiritual guidance to help them stay on the path of freedom in Christ
