Prison & Jail Ministry
Hope behind
the walls.
We bring the hope of Jesus to incarcerated men and women at the Sumner County Jail through discipleship, prayer and personal connection, pointing them to a fresh start found only in Christ.
“I was in prison and you came to visit me.”Matthew 25:36
No one is beyond the reach of Jesus. Behind every cell door is a person God loves and a story He isn’t finished writing. So we go.
How we serve
Showing up inside.
We regularly minister to both the men and the women at the Sumner County Jail.
The hope of Jesus
We bring the good news that no mistake is too big for God’s grace and no one is too far gone.
Walk alongside
Discipleship, prayer and personal connection with men and women who want to grow in their faith.
A fresh start
We point people to the new life found only in Christ, one that doesn’t end when the sentence does.
