Overview

Mission

The mission of Freedom Gate Ministries is to provide Christian after-care support for ex-prisoners. This support not only includes food, clothing and shelter, but also a constant care environment where the ex-prisoner receives Christian discipleship and practical counseling in all areas of life, in order to become a responsible neighbor in the community.

What it reported doing in 2023

Met the after care food, clothing, shelter, discipleship and constant care environment needs of three men released from prison during January through June 2022. Decision was made in 2022 to close the ministry and regular operations were discontinued in June 2022. Tentative agreement to transfer assets to another ministry and close Freedom Gate was reached in 2022. Agreement was finalized in 2023, assets were transferred, and the ministry was closed.
