Celebrating over 50 years of TRANSFORMATION
Get To Know Us!
Who We Are
For five decades, Damascus Way has faithfully served communities across Minnesota. What began as a humble jailhouse Bible study has grown into a statewide mission dedicated to restoration and renewal. Through a Christ-centered, evidence-based, multigenerational approach, we walk alongside individuals and families impacted by incarceration and substance use—providing pathways to healing, hope, and lasting transformation. Our work is rooted in compassion, fueled by empowerment, sustained by community, and guided by discipleship. These core values shape every step of our journey as a certified Recovery Community Organization (RCO) through MARCO, and as a leading reentry provider for those returning from incarceration.
Transformational Partnerships

Damascus Way Culture & Values
At Damascus Way, people have always come first. We honor the human experience—every story of struggle, healing, and redemption.
