Mission Statement
Our mission is to reduce recidivism by helping individuals develop the spiritual, personal, and practical tools necessary to build stable, productive, and purpose-filled lives after incarceration.
Thank you for your interest in BRIDGES Recidivism Prevention.
To ensure that BRIDGES is a good fit for each participant and to help us understand how we can best support your journey, all applicants are asked to complete an initial assessment and interview process.
This conversation allows us to learn about your goals, challenges, support system, and current needs. Our purpose is not to judge where you've been, but to help determine how BRIDGES can best assist you in building a stable, productive, and purpose-filled future.
Participation in BRIDGES is limited to individuals who are committed to personal growth, accountability, and positive change.
We look forward to learning more about you and helping you build bridges to a better tomorrow.

TABLET MINISTRY
We are excited to announce that House of Rest is now broadcasting on the Pando and Edovo apps, reaching incarcerated individuals through millions of tablets across the country.
Through these platforms, inmates can access our weekly podcast as well as our Sunday services, allowing us to share the hope and love of Jesus behind prison walls.
You can partner with us in this outreach by becoming a monthly supporter. To learn more or to get involved, please contact us by email.
At House of Rest, we believe that every incarcerated person matters to God, and that He is raising up an army of believers in the name of Jesus, even in the most unlikely places.
