Mission and Purpose

Support for Prison Ministries mission and purpose is to assist local pastors and prison ministry team workers to gain access into prison. SFPM chaplains bring hope and encouragement to those within the prison walls. Acting as an arm of the local church and empowered by the Spirit of God, we:

• Touch lives with Christian love
• Present the Gospel in clear and understandable terms
• Nurture new believers in faith and discipleship
• Facilitate contacts with churches and Christians on the outside
• Help develop prison ministry teams in local congregations
• Provide training to the local church, community and interested persons

Support for Prison Ministries networks with aftercare ministries to aid ex-offenders in their re-entry into society. We also provide educational programs and training for the local church. Our vision is to assist the local church in the ministry of reconciliation to men and women involved with the criminal justice system.

We are a multi-faceted ministry that provides chaplain services at Lancaster County Prison and Lancaster County Youth Intervention Center.
