New Day Prison Ministry


The purpose of Resurrection's New Day Prison ministry is to restore hope for those currently incarcerated and recently released offenders and their families through personal visits, Bible study, mentoring relationships and acts of service. 

This ministry provides an amazing opportunity to share the love of God with those who are lost or seeking, as Christ called us to do.

Opportunities to Work Directly with Prisoners

  • Help lead Alpha at the U.S. Penitentiary at Leavenworth, KS or at Lansing State Penitentiary.
  • Serve as a mentor at the U.S. Penitentiary at Leavenworth, KS.
  • Spend one-on-one time with inmates at the Gardner and Olathe, KS jails and help them maintain connections with the outside by (1) identifying needs, (2) making follow-up phone calls to family members and (3) offering ongoing personal and spiritual support

Opportunities to Serve Released Offenders and Children and Families of Prisoners

  • Help lead Alpha Bible study for ex-offenders and adult family members of prisoners at Gracious Promise Foundation located in Kansas City, KS
  • Connect with children (6-18) whose fathers are inmates at the Lansing State Correctional Facility at Lansing, KS through the Dream Loud Arts Club program. 

Serve from Outside the Prison Walls

  • Attend a New Day Gathering (held approximately every 1-2 months) to educate ourselves on prison issues and programs, discuss and reflect with others, pray for prison inmates, and learn of ways to get involved.

If you want to help bring about lasting change in the name of Jesus Christ, please contact us at the information to the right for more information about these opportunities.
