What Renew Ministries Inc does
Mission
Renew is a faith-based ministry that is designed to restore men and women to the place of dignity and contribution in society that god designed them to have. Through the study of biblical principles, they are trained to think differently, which allows them to approach past wounds with a different perspective, and current life choices with a new set of skills grounded in wisdom and truth. This ministry is designed to restore the life of each participant which, in turn, restores the lives of their families, through a personal understanding of jesus and a practical application of his word in their lives, as we walk each step of the way with them through the process.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
