Criminal Justice Reform Team

The Vision Statement of the Criminal Justice Reform/ Prison Minstry Team: As a church committed to social justice, our desire is to provide advocacy and support for those impacted by the Criminal Legal System through educational presentations and events, spiritual support and donations to women while in prison, and essential items and emotional support for women when they are released from incarceration.

The Mission Statement of the CJR/PMT: Guided by the principles of compassion, dignity and God’s love for all, we are dedicated to helping incarcerated individuals, families, and the communities impacted by systemic injustice.
