The Inside Out Network (ION), a ministry birthed in an ELCA congregation and identified as a strategic ministry by the Grand Canyon Synod, is seeking input from congregations that intentionally minister with and to people leaving incarceration. Click here to take the Reentry Congregations Initiative Survey, which takes no more than 10 minutes to complete.

ION is undertaking a broad survey of what’s happening in congregation-based reentry ministry, looking for input from congregations of all sizes, shapes, and faith traditions to discover the kinds of ministries congregations are engaged in—what’s working well (and why), and what’s challenging (and why). The goal is to discover and share reproducible models of reentry ministry and pathways that ordinary congregations can follow.

If your congregation is engaged with returning citizens, it would be very helpful if you would carve out a few minutes to complete the survey. The folks at ION are eager to learn what you have to share!

The “Reentry Congregations Initiative” survey is intended to be short and quick. It shouldn’t take more than 10-15 minutes to complete.

Here’s the link to the survey: Reentry Congregations Initiative Survey.

If you know of other congregations (of any denomination or faith tradition) with reentry-focused ministries, please forward the survey to them as well.
