Who We Are
Correctional Institutions Chaplaincy of Santa Clara County is a non-profit corporation, founded in 1962. CIC Ministries operates in cooperation with the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors, Department of Correction, Probation Department, and other government agencies as needed. Funding for this ministry, including salaries, comes through the financial support of churches, businesses, community organizations, individuals, and Santa Clara County.
The primary mission of CIC Ministries is to respond to the individual spiritual needs of detained youth and incarcerated adults in Santa Clara County, CA, and present the good news of God's love and forgiveness. As people respond to those messages of faith, they can experience lives of purpose and hope.
