The people of KAIROS are called by God to share the love of Christ with those impacted by incarceration. KAIROS is an ecumenical ministry that encourages Christians from various backgrounds to be volunteers in this Christ-filled ministry.
KAIROS programs offer to prison residents, their families, and those who work with them, the opportunity to receive God’s forgiveness through faith in Jesus Christ, and to grow in their faith and servant hood through Christian community.

KAIROS is an ecumenical program to bring the message of Christ’s love and forgiveness to the incarcerated
Statistics show that the United States has the world’s highest incarceration rate, 724 people per 100,000. Incarceration has become an $80 billion dollar a year industry#. Studies have shown by attending and participating in faith-based activities, such as KAIROS, the recidivism rate (inmates that return to prison after getting out) can be dramatically decreased (by 50% or more in one recent study*).
The prison administration supports KAIROS because it is one of the most effective programs for inmates and does not cost the prison any money since it is staffed by Christian volunteers. Prisons have seen a noticeable decrease in violence after KAIROS 4 day events.

We believe:
- The Bible is God’s authoritative and inspired word for our faith and our lives.
- In the Trinity of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
- In the deity, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
- Friendship with God is a free gift, for God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son so that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life (John 3:16).
- The love of Jesus Christ motivates His followers to provide food for the hungry, drink to the thirsty, welcome to the stranger, clothes for the naked, and visits to the sick and those in prison (Matt 25:36).
- In sharing the love and forgiveness of Jesus Christ with all incarcerated individuals, their families and to those who work with them inside and outside the correctional institution.
