WHO WE ARE
OUR MISSION
WHO WE ARE
We are a part of the body of Christ that is concerned with and dedicated to all those impacted by incarceration.
We are passionate about being present for, with and to the left out, the abandoned, and the forgotten. We serve to remind the rest of the body of true worship, unhindered fellowship, radical inclusion, and mutual understanding.
We believe that if it has been done to the least of these then it has been done unto God. We stand in the gap as believers and followers of Jesus Christ ministering with and to those inside and outside of prison walls.
