inside out Prison ministry

We serve the incarcerated through prayer, visitation, teaching and making disciples that make disciples
We pray for our volunteers, yard pastors and their families, facility officers and employees, the inmates to whom we minister,
spiritual wisdom and discernment, that Jesus receives all of the glory.
We seek to stir up and enable the CCO church body and our community to "visit the prisoners" (Matthew 25:36)
and "remember the prisoners" (Hebrews 13:3).
