"Remember
those in prison as if you were their fellow prisoners,
and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering."
Hebrews
13:3
As a part of our call to compassionate service, New Hope Church
has a family of volunteers that minister to those in our local
jails and correctional
facilities. The Lord has also called us to minister to the families within our community that have loved ones who are incarcerated. This ministry has made a tremendous impact in the lives of many prisoners and their families.
NHC's Prison Ministry uses the expertise and networks of major Christian prison
ministries such as Missionary Evangelism to Corrections (MEC) and Good News Jail Ministry to gain entrance into the local correctional facilities. Our team coordinates with the directors
of these organizations to allow our volunteers to have constant and continuous presence in the correctional facilities we minister to, as well as the families impacted.
