Who We Are
Bay Area Jail Ministry was started by the Salvation Army in 1935 and has ministered at the Brown County Jail in Green Bay, Wisconsin ever since. This ministry has been used by God to influence many to realize the value of a personal relationship with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. By His Grace lives have been changed and better paths are being walked. X-inmates are now a value to the community, working toward being better people ... praise God!
Our Vision
Our vision is to reach as many inmates as possible, through the Gospel of Jesus Christ and to share with them the fact that their lives do not have to continue the way they are. We believe God can change each of us, by His Grace and presence in our lives, into who and what He intended us to be. We incorporate ideas for a new direction, and encourage a plan, so that the changes desired become a reality in order to help others!
Types Of Activity
We share personal testimonies, read scriptures from the Bible, encouraging all who attend in a variety of ways. Our message has been, and always will be, one of "Hope" to help inmates realize that God can give each of us all the tools necessary for change. Our ministry has always been totally self supported and follow up with a support group called G.B.A. (God Before Anything) which meets at 515 S. Monroe every Thursday at 6:00 P.M. to 8:15 P.M.
