Kairos Inside is a ministry program whose mission is to develop a Christian community inside the prison. The program results in an improved prison living environment, reduced recidivism after leaving prison, safer communities, and healed families based on personal transformations. Recent studies have shown that recidivism rates can be reduced by more than 50%.
Up to 42 inmates participate in the 3.5 day weekend program which includes a series of talks, discussions, prayer, and chapel meditations with the aim of creating or continuing a desire for spiritual growth. The weekend will then be followed up with continuing ministry of monthly reunions and weekly prayer and share groups which provides an authentic and vital Christian community for accountability and encouragement.
