TIUA FAMILY RESTORATION & RE-ENTRY PROGRAM
A Christ-Centered Pathway for Returning Citizens, Families, and Communities

The TIUA Family Restoration & Re-Entry Program is a Christ-centered initiative offered through Trinity International University of Ambassadors (TIUA), including all subsidiaries and affiliate institutions. This program is designed for men and women who have experienced incarceration or justice-system involvement and are actively rebuilding their lives through faith in Jesus Christ, personal transformation, community service, and family restoration.

TIUA partners only with approved re-entry organizations, ministries, chaplaincy programs, transitional homes, and agencies that work directly with returning citizens. These partner organizations are responsible for screening, mentoring, and recommending candidates who meet TIUA’s strict criteria for eligibility.

PROGRAM REGISTRATION TIMELINE

The TIUA Re-Entry & Restoration Registration Portal will officially open for partner organizations on December 1, 2025. Partners will be able to submit referrals, upload documents, and complete pre-screening through a secure system.

Program classes, coaching, and activities will begin in January 2026.
Participants accepted into degree, certificate, or leadership coaching pathways will receive their schedules and course materials through the portal.

The registration link will be released soon once system testing is complete.

PARTNERSHIP MODEL

TIUA accepts candidates ONLY through approved partner organizations. These organizations must already serve returning citizens, provide long-term support, and agree to TIUA’s Christ-centered approach. Each partner must appoint a Re-Entry Liaison and sign an MOU outlining roles, responsibilities, confidentiality standards, and communication procedures.

CANDIDATE PATHWAYS

Referred individuals may be considered for the following:

  1. Earned Degree or Certificate Pathway – Enrollment into academic, ministry, business, chaplaincy, or leadership programs.

  2. Restoration Honoree Pathway – A ceremonial Christian recognition for individuals who have demonstrated remarkable transformation, service, and character.

  3. Family Restoration & Leadership Coaching Track – Focused on rebuilding families, spiritual leadership, communication, and personal development.

TIUA determines which pathway is appropriate based on the candidate’s readiness, documentation, and spiritual maturity.

ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA

Because this is a ministry and leadership-focused program, the criteria are strict. All candidates must:

– Have no active legal cases or pending criminal charges.
– Show evidence of employment, job seeking, or entrepreneurship.

ROLE OF PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS

Partners must pre-screen all candidates, prepare them spiritually and practically, provide ongoing support after acceptance, and respect TIUA’s confidentiality, conduct, and media policies. TIUA does not publicly discuss individual cases or legal histories.

APPLICATION & REVIEW PROCESS

  1. Partner submits referral and documents.

  2. TIUA conducts an initial review for eligibility and safety.

  3. A confidential review committee evaluates the candidate.

  4. Candidate may be invited to an interview.

  5. TIUA issues a private decision (approval, deferral, or denial).

  6. Approved participants complete orientation and sign the Covenant of Conduct and Accountability.

ACCOUNTABILITY AND REVOCATION

Participation in this program is a privilege. TIUA reserves the right to pause, reassess, or revoke a participant’s involvement or recognition if behavior becomes inconsistent with Christian values, ethical standards, or legal requirements. All matters are handled privately and prayerfully.

PROGRAM MISSION AND HEART

The purpose of the TIUA Family Restoration & Re-Entry Honors Program is to honor Christ, restore families, equip leaders, and transform communities. We believe no life is beyond redemption and that those who have overcome adversity can become powerful testimonies of God’s grace, hope, and healing.

Note: The Family Restoration & Re-Entry Initiative is currently in its phased rollout stage. Additional components and partnerships will continue to expand throughout 2026.
