Kairos Prison Ministry

Kairos is a ministry whose mission is to develop a Christian community inside prisons. The program brings leaders together, in both male and female institutions, for a 3 ½ day Weekend led by same gender Kairos volunteers. The Weekend is based on: a series of talks, discussions, chapel meditations, and creating a Christian community. For many participants, the Kairos Weekend creates the desire to become a Christian, and for others the desire to continue their spiritual growth.

There are 3 ways to partner with Kairos in this ministry:

1. Prayer – We’re asking you to commit to praying for the team of volunteers going in to serve in both the Men’s and Women’s prison next month, and by also praying for the incarcerated participants. Women’s Kairos Weekend is July 31 – August 3, and the Men’s Weekend is August 6-9.  Please stop by the Kairos table in the front lobby to sign the prayer chain. 
2. Sponsor a Meal – For $10 you can sponsor a meal for one of the residents on the inside.
3. Bake cookies for Kairos – Kairos has often been referred to as the “cookie ministry” on the inside because every time Kairos enters a prison we bring a dozen cookies for every resident and staff member in the prison.  Homemade cookies are a small thing to us on the outside, but to someone who has been incarcerated for a long time, they are priceless.  The fact that someone cared enough to actually bake a cookie for them is profound.  The Kairos team uses these cookies to help show the love of Christ from their outside brothers and sisters in Christ.
