Welcome To Crossroads Connection  E-mail

Prison and the transition back to life outside can be overwhelming for inmates.  Crossroads Connection works to bridge the gap in the current penal system by helping former inmates find their way back into society through caring support of Christ's followers.

 

Omaha area churches have come together to support the ministry that Crossroads Connection provides.  From regular worship services for inmates and their families, to providing transitional housing for former inmates re-entering society, inmates find a support system with the goal of helping them rebuild their lives.

 

Please take a few moments to explore our web site and learn more about our ministry.  We would love to have you visit and participate in our Worship services.  In addition, any support in the form of financial, in-kind gifts or volunteer time would be greatly appreciated.

to the Omaha Correctional Center

 

Crossroads Connections and Followers of Christ, ecumenical prison ministries of the Presbyterian Church (PCUSA) and Nebraska Synod ELCA (Evangelical Lutheran Church in America), will be offering the Dave Ramsey Financial Peace University class to inmates at the Omaha Correctional Center.

 

This 13-session class, starting April 26 from 6:00-8:00 p.m., is specially designed to teach offenders the basics of simple budgeting and empowers them to live self-sufficiently when they re-enter society.
