Grace Bible Fellowship of Antioch
The "Out of Custody Spiritual Care Services" program is a comprehensive, trauma-informed service delivery model designed to address the specific needs of justice-involved youth and young adults on probation in Contra Costa County. While our contract spans two years, each participant will complete a focused 6-month program designed to drive significant, measurable outcomes. Our approach is grounded in evidence-based practices and the principles of Risk-Need-Responsivity (RNR), ensuring that services are tailored to the unique characteristics and barriers of each participant.
You will need to complete the following classes in person or online:
Salvation, Baptism, Bible Study, Prayer, and
Stewardship
in the above order

You can begin serving before you know your gifts because the experience will give you insight into where you work best.
