About

Change of Heart Logo

Change of Heart Prison Ministry Inc. is a non-profit ecumenical Christian Ministry for young men and women who are in the custody of an Ohio Correctional facility. Our purpose is to manifest God’s love to incarcerated youth, known as “Stars” (male inmates) or "Angels" (female inmates), through a 3-day course in Christianity and an ongoing follow-up program. We do this by bringing together a team of adults and youth who work together during the 3-day event to meet and show the love of God to the inmates at one of the many Ohio facilities we have partnered with. We work closely with the on-site Chaplains and correctional officers to bring a fun-filled, Jesus-centered weekend that changes the lives of these precious people. We also continue ministry after the weekend event with follow-up visits.

The 3-day course is modeled after other Christian-based programs like Chrysalis, Cross, Cursillo, Happening, Kairos Prison Ministry, Tres Dias, Vida Nueva, and Walk to Emmaus. We would love for you to join us and be a part of being the hands and feet of Jesus. Please contact us below to get more information. 

Our Vision

To change the hearts of incarcerated youth so upon release, they may have a better outlook on life and the community they can serve in.

Our Commitment

We will continue our service to the Stars and Angels after they have gone through the program until they are released.

Testimonials

“The wonderful people of Change of Heart Ministry have truly helped many of us youth at CJCF. I personally feel that they truly helped me in my walk of faith to meet the Lord. They have helped show us that God loves us and that his good followers do to.”

Samuel

“ ‘Change of Heart Prison Ministries’ weekend opened up the gateway of the true freedom that Christ has offered to me and promised me when He died so that I may live. I was reminded that I'm forgiven and that by Christ’s grace I can be a new person in my attitude, work and love. Hate no longer, co-exist with Christ’s love in me, love stands as majesty in my heart." 

Camilia

“ ‘Change of Heart Prison Ministries’ meant true love to me…God's true love. It taught me that I can be loved unconditionally without even earning it. I learned God's grace and mercy that is new each and every day. I learned how to forgive and truly let God work on my heart. I truly learned love.”
