youth detention ministry

He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor.
Luke 4:18

The Riverlife teams that minister in 'Juvie' believe in God's boundless love and grace for every child, no matter what mistakes they may have made. 

This belief drives our mission to instil hope and facilitate transformation in young people within our local Juvenile Detention Centers. We provide a safe space where these youth can experience the word of God, receive nonjudgmental listening, and feel unconditional love and acceptance.

Our goal is to guide them towards a fresh start, helping them discover God's love, find redemption, and keep building a brighter, faith-filled future.

If this moves you, perhaps you can join what God is doing through this simple, powerful ministry. Contact ministry coordinator, Ange Leth to find out more.
