Life Skills Education

As new Christian inmates continue to attend the ministries and move closer to completing their time served, Set Free on the Inside Ministries continues to support them in preparing for their next steps in their incarceration journey. This step in the program strategy is equivalent to the growing or teaching stage of disciple making (Matthew 28:19). When inmates continue to be active in the ministry and are approximately two years prior to release, they are encouraged to participate in a life skills education course. Currently, Set Free on the Inside Ministries works in conjunction with other non-profit organizations such as Life Skills Prison Ministries and Jumpstart. Their curriculum is designed to help those currently serving time complete a series of lessons promoting Christian transformational thinking. By helping those incarcerated understand that Christian values can be applied to every aspect of life, they begin to transform the way they think away from the patterns of the world and renew their minds to thinking in Christ (Romans 12:2, NKJV). 

In addition to pre-release life skills courses, Set Free on the Inside Ministries has developed a series of post release courses designed to help support successful reintegration. Currently, interested participants are participating in a basic financial management program. This course teaches a biblical perspective of money as it relates to today’s fiscal environment. Additional courses such as job/ interview preparedness and personal diet/low budget meal planning are currently under development.

Set Free on the Inside Ministries is training volunteers and staff members to lead classes both in and outside of prison to the current and formerly incarcerated. If you are interested in volunteering or learning more, please contact us!
