“Men of Valor is committed to winning men in prison to Jesus Christ and discipling them. Our purpose is to equip them to re-enter society as men of integrity.”
Our Purpose
We believe transformation begins with redemption,
At Men of Valor, we walk with men from the inside out, guiding them through spiritual growth, personal responsibility, and the path toward restored identity in Christ.
Our purpose is not just to help men stay out of prison.
It’s to see them become who they were always meant to be… faithful, free, and full of purpose.
These core principles shape how we serve, lead, and walk alongside every man in the program.
We Value
We place our faith in God and honor the inherent worth of every person. Lives have meaning, no matter our pasts.
We Respect
We honor denominational differences, cultural diversity, and the dignity of each individual. Respect creates the space where transformation can happen.
We Practice
We lead by example—through servant leadership, radical kindness, and consistent encouragement.
We Embody
We live out humility, vulnerability, and teachability. We hold onto the hope of restoration and reflect the grace we’ve received.
Why Helping Matters
- When a man is restored, everything around him changes.
- He becomes a present father. A faithful worker. A trusted friend. A servant leader.
- He rebuilds what was once broken, and begins a new legacy in its place.
- This is about more than second chances.
It’s about new life in Christ, and a future that reflects it.

Quick introduction to our newest opportunity to win men in prison to Jesus Christ! Through Gov. Bill Lee's leadership, MOV has been chosen to oversee a new mentoring program within 3 TN prisons -- it is now MUCH smoother and easier to gain access and bring the light of Christ to a man living in a dark place. Jesus laid out the call, can you join us in visiting a man in prison? You will get a blessing from your efforts!
