Our Mission
To assist returning citizens from incarceration back into community life with the central tools needed to become normal ordinary responsible persons.
The Restore Ministry at the Friendship House is a program to support those returning from incarceration. The goal of Restore is to work "in harmony with the restorative work of God, and seek to become an instrument of Grace through a ministry of healing and growth for individuals as they face the transition from incarceration to community life." Bethany Reformed Church of Kalamazoo is the primary sponsor of this program which is a part of The Friendship House, a 501(c3) non-profit agency. For more information on the Restore program contact program manager Marcus Collins at reentry@restoreministries.org or (269) 552-4728.
