Welcome Returning Citizens in Your Church

Discover how your church can welcome returning citizens and create ministry opportunities that promote restoration and holistic flourishing after release.

Tell Your Story: Using Your Voice To Advance Justice That Restores

Whether or not you have a criminal record or are formerly incarcerated, you can help raise awareness and foster change in our criminal justice system that cultivates a culture of hope and restoration. This workshop will help you learn how to use your personal story to advocate for justice that restores.

Raise Up Champions: Cultivating Ministry Teams That Restore

Bringing justice, mercy, and hope to your community takes the right kinds of champions. Learn how to cast vision and create a robust volunteer culture in your church that elevates justice initiatives, fostering true Kingdom impact through ministry that restores.

How To Start a Prison Ministry

Do you feel your church is called to serve in prison ministry but aren’t sure how to start? With 50 years of experience, Prison Fellowship^® will lead a roundtable discussion with correctional leaders to share practical guidance on how to encounter Jesus with incarcerated men and women.

Beyond Christmas: Journey With Families Impacted by Incarceration

It starts with a gift, but Christmas is just the beginning. Discover how your church can take your Prison Fellowship Angel Tree^® ministry to the next level, fostering year-round connections and ongoing support to families impacted by incarceration.

AFTERNOON SESSIONS

1:45 p.m. and 3 p.m. (Attendees may select one workshop per time slot.)

Ministry Partner Spotlight: Exploring Celebrate Recovery With Johnny Baker

Celebrate Recovery (CR) exists to help people find freedom and healing from their hurts, hang-ups, and habits through a relationship with Jesus Christ. Learn how your church can implement CR to create meaningful groups built on community, accountability, and transformation.

Ministry That Restores

Hear from City of Refuge founder and CEO Bruce Deel, as he unpacks the tenets of ministry that restores. He’ll share his journey of coming alongside men and women leaving homelessness, returning from incarceration, and overcoming addiction.

“Ministry With”

Join Pastor Mark Batterson and other National Community Church leaders and champions as they explore the inspiring call to disrupt comfortable patterns and join God’s work of restoration in our communities. From the birth of the DC Dream Center to lives changed through mentoring and missions, they will share how being “with” God and each other precedes our witness to the world.
