PRISION MINISTRY OF UPSTATE NEW YORK

Sharing the message of love, healing and transformation.

About Us

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.

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.
