The Church: Our Vital Partner

 

Prison Fellowship® believes that the Church is the primary conduit for Jesus’ ongoing ministry here on Earth. For this reason, we delight to be a part of equipping the Body for works of service. We help churches come alongside those impacted by crime and incarceration, both in their pews and in their communities, recalling Jesus’ words not to forget “justice, mercy, and faithfulness” (Matthew 23:23).

"Whether through Hope Events, Angel Tree, or the Academy, Prison Fellowship is constantly reminding the incarcerated population of the God-given dignity they have. It has been an honor to partner with this amazing organization that keeps Jesus at the center of everything they do. We have seen so much fruit from the work we get to do with them behind bars."
 

Dan Quartuccio

Elevation Church - Charlotte, NC

"We love the work of Prison Fellowship. We believe in their work wholeheartedly and are committed to support the transformational work that is happening with individuals, caregivers, and families of those who are incarcerated. I believe that dignity, kindness, and grace can help people change, heal, and grow. We have seen this firsthand as we have partnered with Prison Fellowship, and we are believing to see more of this happen in the years to come."
 

Brenden Brown

Hillsong San Francisco - San Francisco, CA

"In every prison we went to, we heard that Prison Fellowship was doing something there. So that caused us to pivot and learn more about Prison Fellowship. Our visions and values lined up, and it's been a fruitful partnership. We were able to invest in them, and they've also given us their tools and resources to be more effective as a church at reaching families right here in our community."
 

Nate Rudek

Life.Church - Norman, OK

"I would tell other churches considering getting involved in prison ministry to start somewhere, even if it's starting small. We’re grateful for our partnership with Prison Fellowship. I think the heart to serve this population is inspiring. We look forward to the future and impacting many more lives, both on the inside and the outside, together."
 

Nate Eckert

Rock City Church - Columbus, OH

"Prison Fellowship has served as an incredible partner in the work of serving the families of our incarcerated brothers and sisters for many years. I will never forget when we had a family that we had served through Angel Tree that ultimately joined our church. We are fans of Prison Fellowship’s holistic approach to serving the incarcerated with the gospel in practical and transformational ways."
 

Bryan Carter, Senior Pastor

Concord Church - Dallas, Texas

"The Word of God is a message of love and hope that transforms lives. Through Prison Fellowship, we were able to bring together incarcerated men and women to be renewed and restored in the presence of God, while encouraging them to live faith filled lives with a new purpose in Christ."

Four Ways to Make a Difference

outrageous justice

OUTRAGEOUS JUSTICE

Outrageous Justice® is a free small-group curriculum that helps Christians gain a clear understanding of criminal justice issues and take action to promote peace and restoration. This is a wonderful way for a church to learn how to bring hope and healing to those involved in the criminal justice system.

IN-PRISON MINISTRY

Your church can touch the lives of incarcerated men and women by volunteering in local prisons at a Prison Fellowship Academy® site. You will be trained to facilitate life-changing classes that coach prisoners to lead lives of purpose. Already volunteering behind bars? No problem—this opportunity can complement your current ministry.

PRISON FELLOWSHIP ANGEL TREE

Prison Fellowship Angel Tree® equips churches to strengthen relationships between incarcerated people and their children and support the families of prisoners year-round. Through Angel Tree®, local congregations extend the hope of the Gospel and enfold Angel Tree families into church life through delivering Christmas gifts on behalf of incarcerated parents, sending kids to summer camp, facilitating one-day sports camps, and more.

FINANCIAL SUPPORT

It’s simple: The Church loves Christ by loving people, especially those in need—the poor, the sick, the prisoner. Prison Fellowship® would not exist apart from the generosity of churches and other organizations. Will you join us by committing to help fund this life-changing work?
