Who are we? 

Richard Brown with the Captive Project
The Captive Project Church & Ministries is a Christ-centered urban ministry based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Founded in 2007, the ministry began in response to community violence and a deep burden to bring the gospel directly to the streets. Over the years, The Captive Project has grown into a discipleship-driven ministry focused on biblical literacy, street-level evangelism, prison and reentry discipleship, and prayer-centered community renewal. Our mission is rooted in seeing lives transformed by the Word of God and restored through long-term, relational discipleship.

Our  Mission

The Captive Project exists to make disciples by taking the Word of God beyond the church walls and into everyday life. Our ministry includes block-by-block evangelism, Bible distribution, mentoring returning citizens, media teaching platforms, and prayer initiatives focused on spiritual renewal. We emphasize obedience to Christ, personal holiness, and walking with people long-term as they grow in faith.
