Who We Are
Prison Fellowship seeks the transformation of prisoners and their reconciliation to God, family, and community through the power and truth of Jesus Christ. A recognized innovator in the field of prison ministry, Prison Fellowship was founded by Chuck Colson in 1976 after he served time for Watergate-related charges.
Our Vision
That Jesus Christ's transforming grace and truth be manifested in the lives of prisoners and their families, as the local church and Prison Fellowship partner in Christ's work to restore prisoners to the community and Church as contributing members, bearing witness that no life is beyond the reach of God's power.

About Our Prison Ministry
Prison Fellowship reaches out to prisoners, ex-prisoners, and their families both as an act of service to Jesus Christ and as a contribution to restoring peace to our cities and communities endangered by crime. The best way to transform our communities is to transform the people within those communities, and true restorative change comes only through a relationship with Jesus Christ.
