ACM Thanks Bishop's Attic II
Contributed by Karen Wilbanks
Alaska Correctional Ministries (ACM) is honored to receive a grant from Bishop's Attic II to help with the cost of consumable items used by Chaplains, Inmates & Volunteers in prisons throughout the state.
Thank you, Bishop's Attic II, for your dedication and support of nonprofits in the Valley and throughout the State of Alaska!
Now in its 43rd year, the mission of Alaska Correctional Ministries is to proclaim God’s redemptive and unfailing love to Alaska’s prisoners and form a bridge of transformation and hope as these returning citizens find their place in society. Working together with the Department of Corrections (DOC) we provide life-changing core ministries and programs to Alaska’s prisoners and ex-offenders that offer hope and real solutions in their lives through the transforming work of God.
Individually, and in concert with each other, ACM’s Christian discipleship and Core Ministries work together to assist men and women exiting prison to be successful in their integration into their communities. We help them to form pro-social networks, and, through our education and counseling work, our clients learn to identify bad behaviors and utilize the tools they are taught to think situations through and make better choices leading to lasting positive changes in their lives. In our safe living homes, these men and women are provided stable, Christ-centered housing and help finding meaningful employment with a goal of self-sufficiency and full, lasting integration back into society as a whole.
ACM is a non-profit 501(C)(3) ministry. Anyone interested in learning more about us, volunteering or financially supporting ACM is encouraged to reach out to us at 907-339-0432.
