Men of Valor (MOV) is committed to winning men in prison to Jesus Christ and to discipling them. The group's purpose is to equip individuals to re-enter society as men of integrity—becoming givers to the community rather than takers.

In addition, the group offers a Family Outreach Program that ministers to the wives and children of those incarcerated. MOV needs mentors for men, women and children. They need academic tutoring for children, small group facilitators and teachers, help with job placement, sponsors for a child or family at Christmas, those who will deliver food to families and those who will pray.
