Who We Are

Catawba Prison Ministries and Catawba Correctional Center program staff have been working for many years to create a comprehensive support system that can effectively rehabilitate men in prison and minimize the likelihood that they will return to prison after their release. Prison ministry for all faith groups and transitional aftercare pre-release classes are critical parts of this process. Catawba Prison Ministries coordinates a wide variety of faith-based programs seven days a week from 9:00am - 9:00pm. The dream of a religious services building is being realized today. Churches and individuals rallied around the cause, and through the small donations of many, Catawba Prison Ministries raised substantial funds for the project.

Watch as Our Chapel Grows Towards the Heavens!

How You Can Help
Catawba Prison Ministries is a very unique volunteer organization and we need the help of good people like you to continue this great work. Jesus said that when you reach out to people in prison, you are reaching out to Him. Will you reach out to Jesus today with a gift to support our ministry? You may not be able to volunteer in the prison, but your tax deductible gift will insure that others can. No gift is too small, and each one is vitally important to our ministry.
