Prison Fellowship

Prison Fellowship® is the nation's largest nonprofit serving prisoners, former prisoners, and their families, and a leading advocate for justice reform. They seek to share the real, living hope of the Gospel with people who long for its power to make them new. Real restoration begins by addressing the cycle of crime on all fronts, in prison and out, and engaging in a cycle of renewal.  (Note: All information on this page is from www.prisonfellowship.org.)

​WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS ABOUT PRISON MINISTRY

Picture
​​37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

Matthew 25: 37-40 KJV

PRISON FELLOWSHIP ACADEMY

Located in select prisons across the country, the Prison Fellowship Academy® is an intensive, biblically based program that takes incarcerated men and women through a holistic life transformation process. Participants are guided by Prison Fellowship staff and volunteers to lead lives of purpose and productivity inside and outside of prison.

ACADEMY PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Picture
12 months of day & evening content. ​Course topics include:

Criminogenic Needs: Participants will address eight basic thinking errors to alter irresponsible attitudes and behaviors that contribute to criminal behavior.

Relationships: Participants will learn ways to establish and maintain healthy, God-centered relationships, examine the roles and responsibilities of being a responsible family member, and better understand the role feelings play in day-to-day life.

Life Skills and Reentry: Participants will complete a personal transition plan targeting skills needed for successful living, including financial responsibility, time management, healthy habits, legal issues, employment, and coping skills.

Addictions and Recovery: Participants will establish personal tools to identify their relapse pattern, warning signs, and relapse prevention to interrupt negative patterns and maintain responsible living. Celebrate Recovery, a Christ-focused recovery program, gives participants an opportunity to confront life's "hurts, habits, and hang-ups" from a Gospel-centered perspective.
​
Spiritual Formation: Participants will complete Exercising My Faith modules, providing a Christian discipleship track for those of the Christian faith. When participants have a non-Christian religious preference, the Academy helps them apply universal truths found in the Bible to their lives. The Alpha course gives all participants a forum to explore the basics of the Christian faith.
