The mission of Metanoia Prison Ministries is to engage, educate, and equip the Church for the discipleship, mentoring, and reintegration of prisoners.

The name “Metanoia” comes from a Greek noun meaning “a change of mind: as it appears in one who repents of a purpose he has formed or of something he has done, especially the change of mind of those who have begun to abhor their errors and misdeeds, and have determined to enter upon a better course of life, so that it embraces both a recognition of sin and sorrow for it and hearty amendment, the tokens and effects of which are good deeds. “ (Thayer’s Greek Lexicon)

At present, Metanoia partners in ministry with over 130 churches nationwide. The discipleship through correspondence ministry has grown to touch more than 1,300 prisoners each year and involves over 500 unique volunteers from reformed churches. The mentoring ministry has also expanded into a total of four facilities across the southeast and plans to expand into several more in the coming years. Since 2012, over 300 volunteer mentors have been trained, and over 500 prisoners have been individually mentored.
