Pathway to Redemption
Change Starts Within.
Until a person decides to change, relying on a power far greater than themselves, you can give them a job, restore their voting rights, give them access to affordable housing & any other privilege Justice Involved Individuals are often deprived of and the end result is the same. It's sinking sand, leading many to return back through the revolving door of incarceration.

Rooted in faith based principles, Resurrection Industries Inc. seeks to provide the access and support needed for those previously incarcerated to never offend again. The Pathway to Redemption program serves persons age 18 and older currently living in or returning from a correctional facility to live in the Guilford County, NC area. Each participant MUST demonstrate a willingness to change their lives for the better by committing to a six (6) month non-residential program providing transitional assistance in the areas of counseling & spirituality, professional development training and reentry support services.
Making a change in your life starts well in advance of Resurrection Industries. Each individual MUST demonstrate that they are ready for change and have faith that a closer relationship with God and His redemptive grace will allow them to transform their lives.
Whether you contact Resurrection Industries directly or come through a referral source, our professionals will take care in assessing your individual circumstances to determine if this is the best path for you. During intake, we will work with you to ensure that you receive the appropriate support services to assist with successful reintegration.
Over the course of six (6) months, participants will gain access to the spiritual, professional and reentry support services needed to successfully transition into a life free of crime. Individualized, group and community resources will be provided. Throughout the journey, you will be held accountable, prompted to do ongoing self evaluation and encouraged to rely on a power far greater than yourself to avoid returning back to destructive behaviors. Our foundational monthly gathering, The Meeting Place, will be one way to engage with others who can relate to your experiences, receive information on invaluable reentry resources and see the redemptive power of Christ in real time through the testimony of those who have overcome.
Program completion means that the journey is just continuing. Now equipped, participants will use what they have learned to not only stay on God’s path of righteousness for their lives, but also to sow into the lives of others. Participants will receive consideration for available service and employment opportunities. Additionally, they will receive a certificate of completion and reference letter vital for workforce and other opportunities. Most importantly, the greatest gift, a personal relationship with Jesus Christ will help them to move on from the past and never return to the bondage of incarceration.
God’s VISION is just as the name implies…that Resurrection Industries would be a self-sustaining entity led by those who have broken free of the bondage of incarceration. Everything from transitional housing to a variety of in house revenue generating businesses will be part of our model. In today’s environment, many of the opportunities for affordable housing, skilled labor employment and business ownership are often reserved for the few. Add someone with a criminal record to the mix and access to these opportunities become even more exclusionary. Combine that with the need to meet post release conditions, living expenses and more, and it becomes clear just how challenging it can be to remain hopeful. Join Resurrection Industries in extending God’s grace to those who have chosen the Pathway to Redemption.
