The Mission of the Prison Ministry Project
Our ministry is modeled after the ministry of Jesus, Who treated each person with dignity and respect, yet at the same time challenged the oppressive paradigms of His time. His was a ministry of reconciliation.
We seek to reconcile incarcerated men, women and children with themselves, God, the church and society. This is counter cultural. We live in a society that is about retribution and revenge; e.g., the death penalty and “three strikes” and you are out.
The faith community is about restoration and reconciliation. We seek to affirm the God-given dignity in each person that we encounter.
