Hello Church Family,

God is opening πŸšͺ doors for us to share His ❀️ love in places where hope is often forgotten β€” and we want YOU to be part of it! πŸ™Œ

If you’d like to serve with our Prison Ministry at Buster Cole State Jail, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) requires all volunteers to attend a ⏱️ four-hour training.

This upcoming training will be hosted at Hutchins State Jail β€” but we will continue serving at Buster Cole State Jail after you are approved.

Great news: This is a walk-in training β€” no need to send your information in advance!
