Juvenile Justice Ministry (JJM) exists to create a faith-based community-of-care model geared toward fostering holistic connection and secure relationships with young people during any point of contact with the juvenile justice system. Many justice-involved young people regularly face adverse experiences and it is during these moments of crisis that they are most open to uncovering God’s story of hope in their lives. JJM leaders come alongside young people in the juvenile justice system and teach them what it means to journey with Jesus. Leaders help justice-involved teens in balancing the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects of life. We build relationships that are sustained through ongoing involvement as young people navigate all areas of the juvenile justice system.
