CPO ministers to men and women in the Cook County Jail, Cook County Sheriff’s Boot Camp, Stateville Department of Corrections, and at our Career Center in Roseland.

Christian worship services, discipleship classes, individual counseling, vocational training, and job preparation are among the services provided to inmates and participants at these facilities.

CPO’s Outreach Christian School provides Christ centered education to the incarcerated at the jail and educational opportunities for ex-offenders after release.

The post prison ministry to those who have been released serves primarily to provide mentoring and accountability, assisting them in finding fellowship in a local church, vocational training, networking with the local Christian community to seek employment and housing and/or to receive rehab and recovery for alcoholism and drug addiction.

The ministry to families of inmates focuses especially on helping those who are in need at Christmas time. CPO partners with area churches to provide gifts for the children as well as food and household items as needs are identified. Always accompanied, of course, by prayer and encouragement from the Word of God. Rhoda fellowship is a Women’s Bible study conducted at our Roseland facility each week for women who have a loved one who is incarcerated.

The goal is to bring the love of Christ into the lives of these men and women in a tangible way, and directly introduce them to Him through scripture and prayer.
