Prison Ministry Initiative
The 096 Prison Chaplaincy Ministry supports the incarcerated men and women in Rutherford County, North Carolina by supplying and funding three chaplains.
Essential supplies are regularly provided such as hygiene kits and reading glasses, devotionals, and Bibles.
Parolees and formerly incarcerated individuals are connected to bridge services to promote successful reintegration in society.
Transform Lives
By funding chaplains through the 096 Prison Chaplaincy Ministry, lives are being transformed, families are being reunited, addictions are being broken, and previously incarcerated men and women are going on to live productive lives.
