Welcome to the Corner Men Ministries Blog!

Corner Men Ministries is a prison after-care and re-entry ministry. We serve ex-offenders in the metro Nashville area with a primary focus on one-on-one mentoring. Prior to a man's release, we offer faith-based curriculum such as Men's Fraternity, Wild at Heart and Purpose Driven to name a few. We believe discipleship programs and authentic friendships and partnerships can and does have a serious impact on the current 68% recidivism rate in Tennessee. Our ministry is based on our core beliefs and mission:


EMPOWER
Men can sometimes spend far too much time in their brokenness and failures. This time blinds us to our God-given strengths and gifts. Corner Men Ministries empowers men to identify these strengths and gifts and learn to have victory over the things that once kept us all in bondage.

EQUIP
It is difficult for a man to give to his children something he has never received. Corner Men Ministries equips men with the tools necessary to become loving, nurturing role-models for their children and break the cycle of absentee fatherhood.

RESTORE
The breakdown of family in our society breeds many of our community struggles and pains. Furthermore, a family deserves the model of a servant-leader man going before them and walking beside them. Corner Men Ministries is committed to the restoration of a man and his family; this is considered our primary mission.

TRANSFORM
Transforming the hearts and attitudes of men will ultimately build strong families, birth strong communities and produce productive individuals that contribute positively to our society. Corner Men Ministries is committed to transforming communities through one man and one family at a time.

Corner Men Ministries is always looking for men who have a heart for serving other brother's. To learn more about re-entry mentoring, or to learn more about serving in prison ministry, email us at info@CornerMen.org. Join us in the corner!
