OUR MISSION
Grounded in the Christian tradition, sharing Christ’s hope, love and forgiveness, we encourage and support the hearts of those who live and work in the incarcerated communities we serve.
OUR VISION
Prison Ministry of Upstate New York envisions a culture that embraces all of God’s children – focusing on our incarcerated brothers and sisters – as we journey together to become more fully human and more Christ-like.
Prison Ministry of Upstate New York is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit operating under the Ecumenical Ministries of Perinton. We strive to help incarcerated men, women and adolescents capitalize on their inner potential so they can heal and change.
We believe in basic spiritual truths that can flourish where there is awareness, reconciliation and personal responsibility. We seek to empower and help prisoners navigate the complexities of their current situations.
Our programs have no formal expectations and all participants volunteer to attend. Our goal is to help individuals process their own journey. We strongly believe that a personal commitment to self-improvement must be made before there can be change and transformation.
from 2015 to now.
