The ministry volunteers start by asking facility staffers about their needs. They then focus on building a prison ministry that serves those particular needs, and provide a consistent faith community within the correctional facility.
The gospel offers a better way forward than cancel culture, as seen in the case of Chris Hodges.
"If we’re not anchored in Christ ... then our hearts can easily become seduced by cultural gods and then cave to temptation."
"The challenge of leadership is to engage our culture so people are drawn to God through spiritual hunger."
"Grace comes first, then truth. Connect before you correct."
“I’m learning that ministry is really an overflow of my relationship with Jesus.”
Plenty of volunteer opportunities, and a system that matches members to the best ministries for them, have contributed to Church of the Highlands ranking as the nation's #6 Fastest-Growing Church.
Chris Hodges: “You can fulfill the commands of the Bible better by falling in love with God than by trying to obey him.”
“[God] is not trying to build a large institution on earth; He’s trying to rescue people for eternity’s sake.”
