Give Someone a Second Chance This Season
We believe in the power of the gospel, relational discipleship, tangible support, and second chance opportunities. Join us in our mission to END recidivism in the state of South Carolina!
Transforming Lives
“When incarcerated people are offered the JUMPSTART program that combines Christian teaching, discipleship, mentoring, job training, transitional housing, and other support services, the rate at which these individuals return to prison drops dramatically.”
Harry, Former Inmate
Transitional Support, Lasting Impact
Jumpstart is truly transforming lives, and their proven results of only 4% recidivism are outstanding. Jumpstart is what true rehabilitation looks like and is a model that deserves consideration in all states.
Craig Nowokunski
Inside Program Volunteer
I prayed for the Lord to send a support system, a life line to my family to help my son to find the strength, courage, and support system to be not only drug free, happy, and healthy but also become a productive young man in society. This program rebuilds faith and families.
Amy Mullinax
Mom of Participant
The JUMPSTART ministry has been a real blessing not only to participants of the program but to the family and friends of participants and the community in which they worship, work and live.

My name is Kimberly and I have been a participant for a year now. The program truly works if you take advantage of all they have to offer. What JUMPSTART offers is a new way of living and help to stay grounded in Christ . The program truly changed my life .
Kimberly Mccall
Participant
After knowing hundreds of Jumpstart participants, I have an entirely different perspective. Individuals who are released from incarceration face a huge deficit. With no job, no income and a felony record no one will house them; second chances is exactly what Jumpstart is all about.

Truly an incredible and inspiring ministry. Making a huge impact on our community, but more importantly, people's lives, and eternity.
