MINISTRIES

HeartBound Ministries

HeartBound believes that a prison system can be more than just a place where people "serve time." We believe a prison system can be a place where lives are healed, transformed, and restored.  HeartBound Ministries is a nonprofit outreach organization that supports and equips the work of Georgia prison chaplains and provides programs and resources to meet the needs of the prison community -- correctional staff, inmates, and their families -- changing the culture from one of crime and incarceration to hope and restoration.  Since 2003, HeartBound has partnered with prison chaplains and volunteers to provide substance abuse counseling, literacy services, computer labs and instruction, life skills training, parenting classes, spiritual guidance and other life-changing programs for youth and adult offenders and their families.
