Juvenile Services
Madison Detention
Center (MDC)
Northeast Nebraska Juvenile Services is visited every Saturday morning, where we host a bible study. MDC is located at Madison, Nebraska. Our volunteer team of dedicated and devoted followers of Christ bring the message of hope through the Good News of Christ. We also provide bibles free of charge to anyone at MDC who needs one. We realize MDC is a transition place during difficult times in their young lives. We know the value of time and present the Gospel every Saturday and leave the Word of God in their hands.
OSS / Alternative School
Our alternate school serves students from Columbus and the surrounding area, providing a supportive and structured environment for those who are temporarily unable to remain in their regular school setting. Whether due to behavioral, academic, or personal challenges, we help students stay on track with their coursework so they don’t fall behind
Our mission goes beyond academics—we offer space where students can regroup, refocus, and prepare to return to their school with a fresh start. By providing consistent supervision and support, we also give peace of mind to working parents, ensuring their children are in a positive and protected environment throughout the day. We’re proud to partner with our local schools and community to help every student find their way forward.
