Program Description

Prodigal Ministries was formed in 1994 as a nonprofit Christian ministry that is part of the Fourth Avenue United Methodist Church in Louisville, Kentucky. The number of clients served by Prodigal Ministries is limited to 12-15 former offenders and their families at any given time. The organization aids former offenders by helping them move from despair to productivity through mentoring, Christian counseling, support groups, and employment assistance. Individuals are required to attend two support group meetings per month to maintain their status as clients.

Primary Goals
The mission of Prodigal Ministries is to assist former offenders who wish to accept a Christian community as a path to a productive life by providing support groups, worthwhile employment, Christian counseling, and mentoring relationships.

Networking, Partnering, and Collaboration
Prodigal Ministries works with several faith and community service agencies, including St. Vincent DePaul, the Healing Place, Wayside Christian Mission, Center of Hope, All the Way House, Heywood House, 3rd Step Volunteers of America, Talbott House, Salvation Army Adult Rehabilitation, Robert Lanning Dismas Charities, Philemon, Christians in Recovery, and Alcoholics for Christ.
