Bringing Hope, Healing, and Restoration
The South England Conference (SEC) Prisons Ministries Department is dedicated to embodying Christ’s mission by offering hope, healing, and support to prisoners, their families, and ex-offenders. Through strategic initiatives and a network of committed volunteers, we strive to make a lasting impact on lives affected by the prison system.
Our Vision
We envision a compassionate and Christ-centered ministry that fosters restoration, rehabilitation, and reintegration. Our goal is to be a beacon of hope, providing holistic support to individuals during and after incarceration, while empowering churches to be actively involved in prison ministry.
