Our mission	Through a relationship with Christian community, The Four-Seven is committed to equipping the lives of the incarcerated and their families with tools and resources that lead to transformation.

Opportunities	Resident Programs Our resident programs are designed to provide incarcerated men and women with the spiritual, personal, and professional skills to navigate life behind bars and prepare for a successful return to their communities. Classes are designed to bring members of local communities inside prison walls to do life alongside the men and women we serve – that may be for a church service; a class on racial reconciliation; life skills; or a softball game.

The objective is to assist incarcerated individuals with their reentry into society by providing transformational knowledge and experiences. The Fourward Reentry program has three facets – Inside Curriculum, Reentry Coaching, Reentry Support.

Family and friends of the incarcerated experience disappointment, heartache and embarrassment. We will share the effects the loved one has had on our family and present a focus of recognizing God has a plan for each one of us. We will explore how to utilize God’s word to guide us in Forgiveness, Understanding and Hope. Weekly Adults Individuals Indoor Formal Weekdays, Evenings, Weekends

How you help	Volunteers help incarcerated men and women with the spiritual, personal, and professional skills to navigate life behind bars and prepare for a successful return to their communities.

About us	We launched in November of 2015 at Lebanon Correctional Institution with the course Building Success. It all began with 3 volunteers and 18 incarcerated men. God had plans in 2015 that we couldn’t even fathom. For us, it’s all about community. We experience God in amazing ways when we are willing to get vulnerable and welcome Him into our relationships. All it takes is one helping hand to get back up, and we want to ensure that all have the opportunity to experience the unconditional love and grace Christ has to offer.
