NEW LIFE CORRECTIONS MINISTRY: FREEDOM FOR THE IMPRISONED
GIVING NEW HOPE FOR THE LOST AND INCARCERATED. DONATE TODAYVOLUNTEER
New Life Corrections Prison Ministry provides the transforming Word of God, spiritual mentorship, teaches men to become better fathers, and offers a new pathway of redemption after jail.
Our jail ministry provides eight transformational services for the incarcerated. It started several years ago when we developed the first DADS CLASSES, as a pilot program in the Kane County Jail. Turns out, reaching and influencing fathers in jail to be the kind of dad that God planned for them is helping break a generational curse that, for many, is caused by poor choices and a broken home life.
HOW YOU MAKE A DIFFERENCE: Last year, 8,000 people were reached with the Word of God. 2,000 inmates receive one-on-one spiritual mentorship, and 800 inmates graduated from our DADS program teaching men to be better fathers.
We also train and equip believers from local churches for jail ministry. Enabling them to reach out to people behind bars with the transforming power of the Gospel and practical expressions of God’s love. It’s a dramatic and life-transforming example of the mercy and power of a saving God and His church in action.
After prison release, we provide ex-offenders a pathway for transitional housing and continue the transformational process in our Master’s Touch program.
SEE WHAT GOD HAS DONE: The success of our programs and ministry quickly spread to other facilities throughout Illinois. Today, we offer services for men and women in the corrections system that include:
- Bible Lesson Grading Team
- Weekly DADS Classes
- 2-Day DADS Seminars
- Women in Prison Support Ministry
- 2-Day FREEDOM FROM FEAR seminar
- Literature Distribution in Jails and Prisons
- Worship Services
- Bible Studies
- One-on-one Mentoring
- Aftercare for Ex Offenders
- Volunteer Training Seminars
- Chaplain’s Training Academy
Today, we reach nearly every state, local and federal corrections facility in Illinois. If your church or corrections institution is interested in participating in this spiritually rewarding work, please contact us.

Proud Member
These days, Lark has gained some really good friendships at Lifespring. She appreciates that there are people in the program that she can share her struggles with, like a resident named Rica, who is very knowledgeable about the Bible. “She’ll quote me things and talk to me.” She has helped Lark through some tough times. Women in the Lifespring program all come from different walks of life. Lark shared, “But we are all here for the same reason. We’re broken, and we need help. We need God! We are here wanting to know how to be put back together…but for the most part we are a family.”
We embrace all people with the compassion of Christ
