Welcome to the Reach Up CCNO Ministries official page. Reach Up is a nonprofit organization that is responsible for all religious services at the Corrections Center of Northwest Ohio.

With our volunteers of Christians we are able to hold services, supply Bibles, Bible studies, and reading glasses for the inmate population. Under the supervision of our executive Chaplin we also help with clothing for inmates that are returning to their communities.

Reach Up also assists when possible with inmates that need housing by contacting agencies and/or homeless shelters to help the returning inmate to try and maximize their potential and reduce recidivism.

Reach Up believes that while that person in the institution maybe be guilty of a crime. They are redeemable not only to their immediate family unit and friends, but most importantly to God. Through the Sinner's prayer, repentance of sin, and discipleship we begin the twofold healing process.

Currently once a year in October Reach Up meets with its members at a buffet. Allowing the volunteers an opportunity to meet, be informed on the status of Reach Up, and enjoy a meal with fellow brothers and sisters.
