Bexar County Detention Ministries, Inc
(BCDM)
An interfaith agency, began in 1941 with a small group of local pastors who provided worship services and pastoral counseling at the County Jail. Incorporated as a non-profit, 501 (c)(3) agency in 1972, BCDM staff and volunteers provide religious services, support groups, and/or educational classes in 9 adult and juvenile detention and treatment facilities in the San Antonio Metropolitan area. Our Family Renewal Center, located at 503 San Pedro, serves as our outreach center and administrative offices. A wide variety of religious and social services are provided at the Family Renewal Center to those formerly incarcerated in any detention or treatment facility. These same services are also provided to the family members of those incarcerated, or formerly incarcerated. Dedicated to a policy of non-discrimination,
BCDM strives to:
-
Assist incarcerated individuals with developing new direction and meaning in their lives.
-
Assist in the successful reintegration from incarceration back into society by providing life skills necessary for lawful existence.
-
Provide support, services, and resources to the family members of the incarcerated.
