Kairos Prison Ministry of Connecticut
changing Hearts, Transforming Lives, Impacting the world

OUR CORE VALUES

Kairos Prison Ministry Core Values guide our behavior and actions as a board, staff, and volunteers.


Lay led, Christ Centered Ministry
We are Christians who believe in the Holy Trinity and honor and live the teachings of the Bible and our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. We conduct the ministry while inviting all to attend as Guests or Participants in Weekends and program-specific follow-on activities to build Christian Community.


Empowerment while Building Accountability
While we empower the local volunteers to conduct the ministry, we are accountable to excellence and performance at the highest standards and authority of the ministry. We empower Guests or Participants to be accountable for their lives and be transformed by Jesus Christ.


Continuing Ministry Model to Build Community
We believe in the importance of enabling relationships to build community, thus our model includes the Weekend experience followed by Guests or Participants gathering regularly for accountability, support, and prayer. The full complement of the well-defined returning model is necessary for the community to prosper.


Trustworthy
We believe that we must be honest and truthful in our personal conduct as we represent the ministry consistently and with integrity. We are obedient to God in everything we do and obedient to the guidelines of the Kairos ministry programs.


Respect and Love
We believe in respecting each person with dignity while modeling Christ's love. We practice ‘Listen, Listen, Love, Love.'


Stewardship

We believe that we must be good stewards of our ministry’s programs, funds and resources, as well as our personal time, talent, and treasures.
