Mission Gate Prison Ministry

Calling All Churches

By Senator Jim Talent, Mission Gate Board Member

We are so grateful for our church partners who help us through prayer, by volunteering, and by helping support our aftercare homes for ex-offenders.

Would your church want to help in any of these ways?

Lead Bible studies
Visit any of our 11 homes to meet the residents, cook a meal, or teach a craft
Volunteer to visit men and women in prisons and jails
Send church members who can share their professional knowledge in our life skills classes

In turn, we would love to offer these services to your church by sending:

Our graduates and residents to share their testimonies in a service, class, or event
Residents to worship with you as your guests
Speakers who share how Mission Gate changes lives from crime to Christ

If you can help, please contact the Mission Gate office (636) 391-8560. We are so encouraged when we can work with local churches.

What Mission Gate is all about

Bringing freedom into prison

A residential reentry program

Mission Gate staff and volunteers take the Gospel into Missouri prisons and jails.

Our staff and volunteers take the Gospel into Missouri prisons and jails.

They share the Gospel, teach strategies for right living, and help inmates break the chains of crime.

What a privilege it is to see ex-prisoners' eyes light up when they see a ray of hope. Change becomes believable. Life becomes manageable. Living life fully becomes a reality.

A residential reentry program

Mission Gate Prison Ministry gives many desperate men and women their last chance to change.

Our program gives many desperate men and women their last chance to change.

After 9 months of intensive work, these same individuals stand tall and strong at graduation. They're ready to rejoin their families and contribute to their places of work, churches, and communities.

Partnering with communities

Partnering with communities

Local churches and communities are an important part of our recovery program.

Churches welcome our men and women as contributing members of the congregation, helping them put their spiritual gifts to work.

Many local employers prefer to hire from Mission Gate because of our residents' positive attitudes, excellent work attendance, and job performance with no worry about drugs or alcohol.

Going back to Prison!

Mission Gate is so excited to announce the prisons are opening up. Our staff and volunteers are gearing up to go spread the gospel and give hope to those we serve.

Trish Mathes, co-founder of Mission Gate and our Executive Aftercare Director was blessed recently getting to go into Fulton Community Supervision Center, which is the first of its kind in the state. She got to share the hope, love, joy and restoration that comes from our Lord, letting them know that Mission Gate was here to help them along that journey.

"I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me."

-Matthew 25:36
