The Juvenile Justice Ministry is a team where we come alongside youth in the Imperial Valley and help serve them throughout their hardest moments. Some of these youth are already confined to correctional facilities like our Imperial County Juvenile Hall. Others are going to Alternative Educational schools like Del Rio Academy School in Brawley, Valley Academy in El Centro, and Calexico Academy in Calexico. In our JJM ministry, we build relationships with the youth and start connecting them to Jesus, weather through a trip to Six Flags, spending time with them at winter camp, or connecting them with a local youth group. 

Our JJM team works closely with teachers, probation officers, and community leaders to help the youth with life skills; physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual needs.

Matthew 25’s mandate: “For I was hungry and you fed me, I was thirsty and you gave me a drink, I was homeless and you gave me a room, I was shivering and you gave me clothes, I was sick and you stopped to visit, I was in prison and you came to me.”
