Crossroads Prison Ministries Canada 2.66

Crossroads Prison Ministries Canada was founded in 1998 as the first satellite campus of Crossroads Prison Ministries International (CPM).

It all started when two of our volunteers began looking for a way to bring more structure to the program they were presenting at Maplehurst Correctional Complex. The initial program consisted of one-on-one visits with inmates and was limited to this one correctional centre in Milton, Ontario.

After being introduced to the CPM team in Grand Rapids, our volunteers were able to leverage the CPM Bible study materials to create a program for inmates across Canada.

In order to fund and expand the program even further, CPM Canada operated as a division of Bible League Canada (BLC) from March 2007 to Aug 2014. This partnership allowed CPM Canada to grow to the extent that it could incorporate as an independent non-profit organization in the fall of 2014.

Since that time, CPM Canada has re-located to its current office in Burlington, Ontario where it continues to grow its programs in Correctional Institutions across Canada. In addition to offering Bible correspondence courses for prisoners, our volunteers visit one-on-one and lead group sessions in Canadian prisons.
