Shield Ministries
at a Glance
Here at Shield Ministries, we know that the devastation of men's pasts do not have to leave men hopeless for the future. Since our founding in 2007, we have been determined to make an impact in the lives of men who because of their past life choices feel that they are hopeless. The core of our efforts are based on four pillars of stabilization: Crisis Management, Regulatory Compliance, Life Skills, and Christian Spiritual Development.

Regulatory Compliance
Reduces Recidivism
At Shield Ministries, we are dedicated to help men understand and comply to their Probation and legal requirements. We also hold men accountable and responsible while supporting local Probation, Parole, and Pardon Services and the Charleston County Sheriff's office during the men's supervised release.
Life Skill
Education
Healing and Learning
Men are taught biblically based life skills that address the past and how their past way of thinking affects choices and outcomes and how to break the cycles that bring devastion. Men are also taught soft job skills. They learn how to interview successfully by being honest about their past backgrounds, they learn what employers value, how to be assets to their employers, and that they were created for meaningful work.
Spiritual Development
Honoring God, Serving Others
The men are taught basic Biblical principles along with what it means to be a child of God, how to have a personal relationship with Christ Jesus, and how to live by the Spirit.
Workforce Development
The Workforce Development services include soft skills training, Jobs for Life program where local business owners participate in job panels to help the men understand the characteristics and success factors that employers are seeking in their employees.
Many men begin on temporary assignments where they have opportunities to secure gainful employment that helps move them from the devastation of their past to a thriving future.

Shield Ministries with other Charleston Jobs for Life Programs were selected as one of the groups to be featured in the 12 Neighbors Project.
"The 12 Neighbors Project asks the most important question of our time, "what does it really mean to love your neighbor?"
Our goal is to create a movement of people who are inspired and educated to love their neighbors like never before.
​
We have created this 7-part film series so that people may gather together as a group, watch the films, discuss appropriate action in their own communities, and then take action together as a group."
