Ambassadors for Christ

"...for I was hungry and you gave me food... I was in prison and you came to see me... when you did it to the least of these my brethren, you did it to me..."
  Matthew 25:35-46 

The AFC Prison Ministry has been called to serve the needs of those who have found themselves in conflict with the laws of our nation.

We value each person as an eternal being created in God's image with inherent dignity and worth.

We believe that every person, no matter how adverse his or her circumstances, is redeemable by God and can live a life of meaning and purpose with the help of the Holy Spirit.

We teach individuals to accept responsibility for their actions and we encourage them to become people of integrity, honesty, and commitment by first accepting Jesus Christ as their personal Savior and then by giving
their lives wholeheartedly to His care.
