We aim for radical transformation.

That's because the Bible promises, "If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!" And we believe that "anyone" includes prisoners.
We've seen the "worst of the worst" make a complete turnaround through the power of Jesus Christ. Some may scoff, but "with God all things are possible," Jesus declared.
We're committed to the journey.
Radical, lasting change seldom takes place overnight. More often, it's an accumulation of steps—usually forward, but sometimes back, as we run into difficult terrain and roadblocks along the way.
Our Vision
That Jesus Christ’s transforming grace and truth be manifested in the live 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.
Our Mission
The mission of Prison Fellowship is to seek the transformation of prisoners and their reconciliation to God, family, and community through the power and truth of Jesus Christ.

Prison Fellowship walks with prisoners through the different stages of their journey. We start with them inside prison, as they learn new values based on the life and teaching of Christ and how to apply them. We continue with them through the critical transition to the outside, helping them through obstacles and daunting temptations. So even if they stumble, it doesn't mean defeat.
We also help prisoners and their families rejoin their journeys, staying connected during incarceration, adjusting well when prisoners return home.
We don't do it alone.
From its beginning, Prison Fellowship has partnered with local churches to carry out this ministry of transformation. And in recent years God has brought together tens of thousands of men, women, and even youth to work with prisoners, ex-prisoners, and their families. Across the country they are uniting in local Communities of Care, providing support and services both inside and outside the prisons.
These churches also collaborate with scores of other faith-based ministries, community organizations, and corrections officials to ensure that, together, we can reach prisoners and their families with the best possible teaching, resources, and support.
So if released prisoners have nowhere to go, we may help them find housing. For prisoners' families in need, our volunteers may help with food and bills. Prisoners who dropped out of high school may receive help to get their GED. Even prisoners with no family support are welcomed into accepting church families.
