Sharing Christ’s Love With Incarcerated Women In & Out Of Prison

Welcome To Broken & Beautiful

Broken and Beautiful’s mission is to share Christ’s love with incarcerated women, and then walk with them as they embrace God’s truth after release.  To start this mission, we bring Christ into Missouri’s women’s prisons through our weekly services and classes. After release, we continue down this path by providing four key components:
Provide Christian-based counseling and peer support to deal with past trauma, abuse, and neglect
Create a Christian community of formerly incarcerated women centered on love
Build up their faith through discipleship training and Christian education
Offer avenues to serve God as they grow their faith.

Who We Are

Broken and Beautiful started weekly Christian services at the Women’s Eastern Reception, Diagnostic Correctional Center (WERDCC) in Vandalia in 2014. In 2022 we expanded our weekly services to the other Missouri women’s prison, Chillicothe Correctional Center (CCC). We now have over 200 women a week attending our services or classes.

Through in-prison services and classes, we develop a trusted relationship with the incarcerated women and offer guidance and counseling before release.  After release, we are a continued presence in their life and have created a community of women with a similar past and a new hope for the future.
