IS PRISON MINISTRY AWARENESS SUNDAY!

Longterm relationships based in Christ restore the lives of those in prison.

Join the Matthew 25:36 Fellowship, our community of monthly givers, to bring Christ to those behind bars every single month.

OCPM’s Storybook Connections™ keeps families strained by incarceration connected through the power of children’s books.

"Thank you for ministering to the man who killed my mother."

Don’t miss Jaden’s testament of radical forgiveness, a challenge to all of us to embody the love of Christ.
