Prison/Outreach -

The mission of the Prison Ministry is to minister to lost souls incarcerated at the Limestone Correctional Facility. We work there to assist in the spiritual needs of those prisoners and their families. We provide bible classes, personal study, and lessons from the pulpit. We also strive to provide some of the personal needs of the prisoners by providing hygiene and other equipment for the health and well being of those individuals that have no family. We work closely with the Chaplain's office at LCF in order to gain greater access to the prison. Our overall mission is to do the will of the FATHER and that is to visit those in prison.
