Our Mission

For Post-Prisoners- [Job Readiness training]

CFTI (Certification for the Incarceration) breaks the barriers of employment for returning citizens- Using technology as their friend,  returning citizens are taught the latest employment techniques which allow them to become a functional and productive member of society.

For Inmates- [Preparing inmates for reentry]

There is a day coming when your loved one will parole and will need to be spiritually prepared for what’s ahead: an uphill battle.  Prison is commodity for those in uniform and a revolving door for whom they help. The revolving door can only stop by having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

If you have been paroled from prison and are living in the Western Michigan area and need assistance with finding a job, please call us at 616-240-0841 or email at: kurtglo@gmail.com

Don’t let your criminal record be a hindrance for getting a job!Know the do’s and don’t s from the job interview questions

At most any-given job interview, your past will be the center topic-be prepared, plan ahead and know how to answer all questions, correctly. Here’s an example:

” Dear Mr. Jones, because of your criminal past, I’m hesitant to  offer you a position within our company. Unless you can convince me otherwise!”

How you answer that question, will determine if you get hired with that company. 

You need to know what your strengths are? What are your weaknesses? How much do you know about the company you are interviewing for?

Are you a recent graduate from MTU’s Vocational Village program? Let us help you put your welding, culinary arts, or auto mechanics certification to work.

Incarceration isn’t a simple problem.

  • We exist to glorify God by making disciples to those who are or have been in prison.
  • As a local church Mission, we know that every person is made in the image of God, and no life is beyond His reach.
  • But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be My witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.
 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

Chaplain Kurt & Marcia Glover
