PRISON MINISTRY

With over a decade of experience in the NC prison system we have made a tremendous impact while learning much about the system. We now equip churches to launch impactful prison ministries to do the same. From volunteer training to navigating prison culture, we provide the tools, guidance, and support for your ministry team to disciple incarcerated men and women. Your passion with our direction can help inmates to become devoted followers of Christ. Your church will experience that fulfilling Christ’s call to serve “the least of these” (Matthew 25:40) is incredibly life-giving.

…I was in prison and you came to visit me…

Serve Inside the Prisons with Our Support

We’ll help your church bring meaningful ministry within prison walls through opportunities like leading worship services, teaching Bible studies, and offering classes requested by prison program staff. You may also be able to organize special events such as concerts or holiday programs, distribute Christmas hygiene kits, goodie bags or meals, and sponsor appreciation lunches for chaplains and staff. With our guidance, your church can partner with existing prison ministries or start its own impactful outreach to serve incarcerated individuals.

Serve Outside the Prisons with Confidence

Serving those impacted by incarceration doesn’t stop at the prison gates. We’ll equip your church to prepare hygiene and release kits, organize Bible and Christian book drives, sponsor an Angel Tree ministry, or host clothing drives for minimum-security facilities. A fantastic way to create a difference in an inmate’s life is mentorship through a pen pal ministry to provide encouragement and guidance as many begin their walk with Christ. We can help you collaborate with Local Reentry Councils and transition homes to help meet the needs of individuals reentering society. Whatever your church feels called to do, we’ll help you in every way we can.

Start Your Prison Ministry Today

We guide churches through every step of prison ministry, from partnering with existing programs to starting a ministry at a nearby facility. Our support includes training volunteers in prison culture, building relationships with prison administration, and providing practical discipleship tools. Additionally, we offer an annual in-person sermon to inspire and mobilize your congregation to engage in this life-changing work serving Jesus.

Testimonials

“After being sentenced to life, I wished to just fade away. I saw my life as a waste. God saw the beginnings of a restoration project.”
