Reconciliation & Reentry | Thursday, August 18th, at 6:30pm at church

The Reconciliation and Reentry (R&R) Ministry is one-year covenantal Partnership between individuals recently released from prison and congregational faith teams of 5-10 members to help the offender and the Durham community reconnect and restore wholeness to one another.

Principles of R&R Ministry

• All people have strengths

• Supportive teams can help identify and enhance strengths/limit impact of weaknesses

• Offenders reentering our community need and deserve support

• A Faith Team can model good behaviors to help Partner reclaim life

• Faith Team members and community learn and prosper for R&R process as much as offender

• Reconciliation and successful reentry happen when all participants recognize the transformative power of loving and compassionate acts
