Ministries

Next Chapter Ministries has a number of ministries that provide support for those impacted by crime.  These ministries can only be successful by God's grace and the volunteers that give their time to help those in need. 

 

Discipleship Homes I and II

The Discipleship Homes I and II make up a Christian-living residential program for men who have been in prison and who often struggle with drug and alcohol addictions.

 

Fellowship Home

The Fellowship Home is a meeting place for women who have been in prison, as well as women who have been impacted by crime.  Many women who come to the Fellowship Home have been victims of domestic violence and struggle with addictions.

 

Network for Life

Network for Life is a weekly Bible study and support group for men and women.

 

Jail Ministry

Staff and  volunteers go to the Olmsted County Jail and the Work Release Program each week to lead Bible studies and worship with the men and women at these sites.  During these visits they share the good news of God's love, as well as a message of forgiveness, hope and salvation.

 

Locker Room for Life

The Locker Room for Life is located in the lower level of Next Chapter Ministries' Discipleship Home at 720 3rd Ave S.E.   We have primarily been working with the children that reside in the Hunters Ridge apartment complex.  We transport the children from Hunters Ridge to the Discipleship Home.  In addition, we mentor children from 5 to 12 years of age in the areas of Christian values, academic needs, and life skills.

 

Network Youth Outreach

Network Youth Outreach serves at-risk youth in Rochester.

 

Network Outdoor Services

Network Outdoor Services is a lawn and yard-care business that not only provides quality outdoor services, but also provides individuals coming out of incarceration with the opportunity to be meaningfully employed.
