• We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God.
• We believe in the Trinity: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, three in one, equal and eternal.
• We believe that Jesus died, was raised, will return again, and is the only mediator between God and man.
• We believe that Jesus, at the end of the age, will return to earth, visibly, physically, and gloriously, to judge all men and to receive His Church to Himself.
• We believe that men are born dead in their sins and they must be born again.

Disciples 4 Christ’s vision is that a prison system can be more than just a place where people “pay their debt to society.” We believe the system can be a place where lives are healed, transformed, and restored. We see a future where the cycle of crime and incarceration is broken, recidivism rates are reduced dramatically, and prisoners are restored to their families, communities, and faith.

However, recidivism for former inmates who have gone through voluntary faith-based programs designed to help transform the inner being has reduced to less than 10%.

Over the last five years, the rate of recidivism has dropped dramatically in the state of Texas, from about 75% to around 22%, according to a retiree, Dr. Vance Drum, former director of TDCJ Chaplaincy Programs.
