About Alpha Prison Ministries

Our mission:
"To evangelize and disciple men who happen to be prisoners and former inmates"

Our prisonministry is accomplished primarily in three ways:

1. Within the prison setting itself, we conduct Bible studies and provide Bibles and literature as needed. Our volunteers also mentor prison inmates.
2. We have two Alpha House facilities located in Grand Rapids, Michigan that serve as half-way houses. Former inmates who are accepted live in a supervised environment where Christian maturity and life habits are developed over a 6-12 month period.
3. Ultimately, Alpha graduates who desire to minister themselves become mentors to Alpha House residents.

26 years of prison ministry

Alpha Prison Ministries began in 1983 with only three volunteers and a vision to provide Bible studies and one-on-one mentoring of prison inmates. From the beginning, our success, and the difference we have made, has been measured one life at a time. Each prisoner we reach usually translates into that prisoner reaching others, so the results are multiplied many times over.

Our current vision is to expand beyond the seven correctional facilities now being served. The state of Michigan has over 40 state prisons and 14 work camps. Alpha Prison Ministries seeks to serve all of these facilities through the prayers, financial support, and volunteers who choose to join us in this endeavor.

Below is one of two TV shows featuring Alpha Prison Ministries that aired in 2010. This one was especially exciting because two former inmates agreed to be interviewed too so they could share what APM means to them, and the difference prison ministry makes:
