August 2024 marks the 30th anniversary of our Jail Ministry. What began as an outreach ministry to share God’s word with men and women at the Durham County Jail and has expanded to include service to the Orange County Correctional Center in Hillsborough.

For three decades, this dedicated team of volunteers have worked tirelessly to bring hope, healing, and transformation to the lives of those in correctional facilities. Their unwavering support has made a profound impact on countless lives.
