Prison Ministry

Malachi Dad's Prison Ministry

Each week men from FBC head down to the Jackson Prison to lead a Men's Bible Study using the Malachi Dad's curriculum.

The mission of Malachi Dad's is "to restore and equip incarcerated men to become godly fathers, so that the generational cycle of incarceration can be broken."  - Malachi Dad's, Prison Ministry

We hope to start a Women's Prison ministry soon.
