THE JAIL MINISTRY IS CONDUCTED THE FORTH SUNDAY OF EACH MONTH AT THE BULLITT COUNTY DETENTION CENTER.

THE PRIMARY PURPOSE OF THIS MINISTRY IS TO REACH PRISONERS FOR CHRIST. THIS IS A NONDEMONATIONAL MINISTRY. WE PREACH CHRIST AND HIM CRUCIFIED, HIS LOVE FOR ALL MANKIND, HIS MERCY AND FORGIVNESS. THE MESSAGE IS USUALLY VERY INTENSE AND WE DO NOT IMPLY THAT ACCEPTING CHRIST WILL IN ANY WAY GET THEM OUT OF JAIL OR PREVENT THEM FROM PAYING THE PENALTY OF WHY THEY ARE THERE, BUT THAT HE WILL HELP THEM TO ENDURE. NEITHER DO WE PREACH OR TEACH CHURCH DOCTRINES OR CREEDS, NOR ENDORSE ANY PARTICULAR CHURCH. HOWEVER, WE DO ENCOURAGE THEM TO GET INVOLVED IN A CHURCH SHOULD THEY GET A RELEASE FROM THE PRISON ENVIORNMENT.

THE SERVICES ARE CONDUCTED VERY SIMILAR TO TYPICAL CHURCH SERVICES BY OPENING IN PRAYER, SINGING SONGS AND MAKING MEDLEY IN OUR HEARTS TO GOD AND EACH OTHER, PREACHING THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST, AND GIVING OPPORTUNITY TO THE PRISONERS TO ACCEPT CHRIST AS LORD AND SAVIOR AND MAKE A PUBLIC COMMITMENT.

ON ANY TYPICAL SUNDAY, WE MAY HAVE 15 TO 20 INMATES IN A SERVICE WITH AN AVERAGE OF TWENTYFIVE PERCENT ACCEPTING CHRIST. I KNOW MANY PEOPLE IMPLY THAT THESE COMMITMENTS ARE ONLY A JAILHOUSE RELIGION AND WONT STICK. MY ANSWER IS SIMPLE: I AM NOT THE JUDGE, GOD IS. BESIDES, PAUL SAID, ONE PLANTS, ONE WATERS, BUT GOD GIVES THE INCREASE. SO EVEN IF IT IS A “JAILHOUSE RELIGION”, A VERY IMPORTANT SEED JUST GOT WATERED! PRAISE GOD!
