Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

True Freedom Ministries is an evangelical, non-profit organization dedicated to reaching people locked in jails and prisons, the homeless, and those trapped in addiction across Ohio with the message of the true freedom found only in Jesus Christ.

  • True Freedom Ministries, in partnership with correctional facilities and private organizations, applies a multi-faceted approach to Prison Ministry incorporating evangelism, discipleship and mentorship with pre-release education and post-release programming. This approach creates a climate based upon faith, positive values and accountability, and provides the tools to equip prisoners and ex-offenders with behavioral skills, job training and experience.The True Freedom Addiction Recovery Ministry holds weekly meetings at our office in Cleveland. Our program utilizes the Christ-centered curriculums and allows us to establish relationships with people struggling to break their addictive behaviors. This program also serves as the centerpiece of our Prison Ministry Re-Entry Program as we recognize a majority of former prisoners and ex-offenders have struggled or continue to struggle with addiction.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
