Kairos Prison Ministry

The mission of the Kairos Prison Ministry is to share the transforming love and forgiveness of Jesus Christ to impact the hearts and lives of incarcerated men, women and youth, as well as their families, to become loving and productive citizens of their communities.

Kairos programs offer to prison residents, their families, and those who work with them, the opportunity to receive God’s forgiveness through faith in Jesus Christ, and to grow in their faith and servant hood in Christian community.

Ministry opportunities:

  • Serve as a team member on a 3-day weekend – Kairos teams have 3-4 half day meetings (usually Saturdays) prior to going into the prison.
  • Volunteer to bake cookies that are taken into the prisons on the 3-day weekends – each Kairos team member commits to bring 100 dozen homemade cookies for the 3-day weekends. This is one of the forms of agape shared with the men/women on the weekend and all the inmates in the prison.
  • Prayer warriors – each Kairos weekend is covered in prayer from noon on Thursday through Sunday 7:00 p.m. Commit to pray for 30 minutes for the inmates on the weekend.
  • Agape posters and placemats – great for youth groups to make posters and placemats expressing God’s love for the inmates on the weekends.
  • Attend a Kairos Closing held Sunday afternoon at the end of the weekend – this provides an opportunity to go the prison and hear, from the inmates, how the weekend has impacted them. Closing typically runs from 4:00 – 7:00.
  • Financial support

Mentoring at a Transition House

Clover Hill provides housing to a few men who are transitioning out of prison and back into the work force. It’s our goal to give these men another chance at life, find freedom from their past and move forward in the promises God still has for them. You will have the opportunity to help mentor someone in life skills and life coaching.
