What We Do
Mike Brown Ministries, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization created in November 2000, serves young people incarcerated in Tarrant County, providing spiritual support and guidance during a critical time in their lives. We exist to introduce them to God so they may find acceptance, forgiveness and hope in Him through Jesus Christ.
Mike Brown Ministries is governed by a volunteer board of directors and works in affiliation with NewDay Services for Children and Families.
