We believe that the Bible is God’s authoritative and inspired Word, without error in all its teachings.
How We Are Compelled To Live And To Act

About the company
Company website•Non-profit Organizations
Prison Fellowship is the nation’s largest Christian nonprofit equipping the Church to serve currently and formerly incarcerated people and their families, and to advocate for justice and human dignity. One of Prison Fellowship’s most important distinctives is our multi-faceted approach to engaging people impacted by incarceration. We facilitate transformation in a variety of ways, all within a consistent and interconnected framework.
Prison Fellowship and its church partners encounter Jesus with those behind bars, breaking cycles of crime and prayerfully anticipating a revival of justice, mercy, and hope in our culture.
We equip wardens to reimagine prison culture that fosters such change. While those in prison are growing in Jesus, we’re also ministering to their families. And when people who were incarcerated come home, they benefit from our work in the public square and in the halls of government, promoting laws that honor human dignity and opening doors for second chances. All our work builds upon itself, with each program supporting and magnifying the next.

==============
Prison Fellowship is a national, nonprofit organization founded in 1976 by former Nixon aide Charles Colson. Colson was incarcerated for Watergate-related charges and could not forget those he had left behind prison walls. He launched Prison Fellowship to give prisoners the opportunity to experience the radically transforming power of Christ that he had already experienced.
