We are partnering with Prison Fellowship International to help church volunteers make a positive impact on the lives of those incarcerated or impacted by crime.
Volunteers can get involved in many different ways. There are in-prison seminars, in-prison bible studies, mail call program, juvenile ministry, aftercare ministry and the angel tree outreach at Christmas. Please contact us for more…
An in-prison seminar is a great way to start out in prison ministry. Seminars are typically a two-day event that features small group interaction, worship, and topical Bible study tailored to the unique stresses of prison life.

Faithful & trained volunteers travel to prisons and jails weekly to spread the good news of Jesus' love.
They lead or assist with small-group Bible studies that introduce inmates to Christ and further disciple them in the spiritual basics—Bible reading, prayer and service to others.
Aftercare programs begin months before an inmate faces the outside world. In the mentoring program, Christian inmates are personally matched with trained, Christian volunteers who walk with that person for a minimum of six months after release.
Many inmates are lonely, needing a friend. When a volunteer requests a correspondent, Prison Fellowship matches him or her with an inmate incarcerated in a distant state. This is so that wary writers don't feel responsible for making personal visits.
Volunteer correspondents must be over 18 years of age and Prison Fellowship tries not to match single women with male inmates.
The rapidly-increasing juvenile inmate population has opened up many areas of ministry.
There are in-prison seminars and bible studies being held weekly at all juvenile facilities in our area.
