About Us
The Mission Statement
Crime to Christ exists to reduce crime through co-ordinated and cohesive action
by the Christian community. Our vision is to rehabilitate offenders by helping
them to follow Christ. Our purpose is to provide a pastoral social care package
for offenders to address their practical needs regardless of their beliefs or
lack of beliefs. Our goal is to provide a referral service to churches, helping
them with advice, resources and training, to equip churches to care for
ex-offenders and integrate them into the Christian community.

need or hardship and to relieve the distress caused thereby particularly (but

COMMITMENT TO EQUALITY
The Greek word used for nations is ethne meaning all "people
groupings". As a service provider, we are strongly committed to reaching
all people groupings, with no exceptions, and have a clear equality policy. Our
commitment is to serve all people, whether or not they share our Christian
faith, without discrimination and in a non-judgemental, compassionate way.
Clients will not have any faith forced upon them, nor be forced to join any
religious group, church etc.
Jesus said to His disciples, "Go and make disciples of all
nations" (Matt 28 v 19).
