History of Law & Grace Ministries

Law & Grace Ministries began long before it was named in October of 2004.
Headquartered out of Faith Baptist Church in Belleville, IL (Pastor Scott Baker), Law & Grace is dedicated to seeing sinners converted to Jesus Christ, their homes reunited and family units placed into local New Testament Churches.

Law & Grace currently has four Regional Directors who are qualified and experienced Chaplains, each having between 21- 25 years of experience in the criminal justice system.

These men have a combined staff of over 40 volunteers working in a ten-state area. They are currently in 19 facilities in the Midwest, including state prisons, jails and juvenile detention centers.

Some are trained law enforcement officers or correctional officers, but all have training in corrections with an understanding of rules, regulations and respect of the standards within each facility.

Law & Grace Regional Directors are also missionaries to the Criminal Justice System of America. They are active and “sent” members of a home church and supported by local churches.

Law & Grace Missionaries are available for mission conferences, speaking engagements and special Blue and White Sundays honoring Law Enforcement, Fire Fighters and Emergency Response Personnel. Please use our Contact Page to make a request or find out more information.
