Kairos is an ecumenical Christian ministry designed for use in Men's and Women's correctional institutions. The ministry is conducted, in cooperation with chaplains of correctional institutions, by teams of laity and clergy from many supporting churches who are qualified by their experience in Christian renewal movements. The mission of Kairos is to help grow and nurture strong Christian communities within correctional institutions. Through a systematic structured program, God helps Kairos volunteers provide residents the opportunity to know Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and /or to renew that relationship - starting with a 3-day Kairos "short course in Christianity." During the weekend and subsequent follow-up spiritual growth activities facilitated by Kairos volunteers and prison chaplains, residents are challenged to accept God's call to a life of Christian witness and service to one another and to staff during their stay in the institution and beyond. As the mission of Kairos is accomplished in an institution, there is a positive impact on the total environment of the institution.
