Jail & Prison Ministry

“...to open eyes that are blind,
to free captives from prison and to release
from the dungeon those who sit in darkness.”

                                         Isaiah 42:7

The mission of the Jail and Prison Ministry Task force is to promote Christ-centered ministries of prevention, healing and restoration.

The goal of the Prison and Jail Ministry is to bring awareness to our local churches that we are called to forgive and support the men and woman being released from incarceration to come back into a right relationship with Jesus Christ and their community. 

" '...for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me' Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when was it that we saw you hungry and gave you food, or thirsty and gave you something to drink? And when was it that we saw you a stranger and welcomed you, or naked and gave you clothing? And when was it that we saw you sick or in prison and visited you?' And the kind will answer them, 'Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me.' "

-Matthew 25:35-40 NRSV
