Cross and Key Prison Ministries
Special Sunday Offering August 24, 2025
Summer is a family time. It is a time to gather with those we love and enjoy nature and simply being together. It is also a time to remember those less fortunate and unable to be with those they love. Among these are the 57,000 men, women and youth held in North Carolina’s jails, prisons, and youth facilities.
Since 1999, Cross and Key Prison Ministries has been ministering to prison inmates and their families. First, with the Disciple Bible Study program, and now, with a more comprehensive approach that helps churches of every size become involved in prison outreach.
Each summer, Cross and Key Prison Ministries has a yearly fundraising drive. It all culminates with our special offering on August 24, 2025.
The mission of Cross and Key Prison Ministries is threefold:
1) To Equip Churches for Prison Ministry;
2) Education on Criminal Justice Issues;
3) Advocacy for Reform
Please pray for our ministry and consider a gift to support our mission. In Matthew 25:34-36 Jesus said. “Then the King will say to those at his right hand, ‘Come, you that are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; for…I was in prison and you visited me.'”
