Prison Fellowship seeks to see all who have been affected by crime and incarcerated to reconciled to God, their families and communities by sharing the hope and forgiveness of Christ with them through services and ministries within the prison walls.
We believe it is better to give than to receive! Therefore, each Christmas we take up a special offering and give it ALL away.
On December 11th, we are challenging the people of Rise City Church to give above and beyond to help fund this year’s incredible 10th anniversary, “10 for 10” initiatives, as well as your personal nominations of people you want to see receive a special blessing this Christmas.
NOMINATIONS HAVE CLOSED
