A Path Out of Hopelessness

The Heart of Clay Correctional Ministry is located in Moorhead, Minnesota. Originally operating under the name Clay County Jail Ministry, we are a group of Christians from many walks of life who come together as an interdenominational group with the same purposes in mind. This effort is currently being guided by a group of volunteer board members whose desire it is to bring the love of Christ to the incarcerated, their families, the recently released, and those serving in law enforcement in our community. Our beliefs are defined by the Bible, and its teachings shape our Statement of Faith.

We meet people where they are at in their lives. Many people go through a season in life where they feel lost and hopeless with no way out of their current circumstances. We offer to walk beside them, share the love of Christ, and help transition them to a different way of living life. We want to see all of our brothers and sisters accept the love of Christ and be transformed by that love.

Housing

Our Crossing Home houses provide a Christian accountability housing program that helps homeless, previously incarcerated people, and/or parolees learn to apply biblical principles as well as practical teachings and life skills training for a successful re-entry into society. We have multiple transitional houses in Clay County.

Re-entry Kits

We provide re-entry kits for new previously incarcerated people (male and female) as they are available. Re-entry kits may consist of clothing and personal care items such as shirts, pants, shoes, meal cards (gift certificates from local restaurants and grocers), a Bible, hygiene products, a bus card, and a resource book listing government and not-for-profit organizations that provide assistance for specific needs. These items are provided through the generous donations of churches and individuals in Clay County.

How to Help

God blesses us all with unique talents and gifts. It may be an ability to build something with your hands, connect with people in-person or through letter writing, mentoring, or financial giving. We welcome all forms of assistance to be the hands and feet of God.

Donations go directly towards ministry items including study material such as bibles and text books. It also helps fund initial scholarships for the first month of residency if someone has nothing at the time of moving in.
