Kairos Prison Ministry offers an opportunity to respond to God's call to visit his people - and Him - in prison. Kairos is structured similar to other "three day weekends," such as the Walk to Emmaus and Cursillo. The Goal of Kairos Prison

Ministry is to build Christian Community within the institution. Kairos is active at Toledo Correctional Institution (ToCI), and can use your help in building and sustaining the Christian community within ToCI. Click here for more information

The Community is Our Parish: Connecting with our Neighbors

We have the wonderful privilege of bringing

God's Kingdom to the places which we call home.

It doesn't matter whether your church is in a rural area, small village or county seat town, you can be the reminder of God's presence and commitment to change and transform the lives of people who live there. Yet how often our churches come to a place of plateau or comfortableness and we lose the passion of reaching our neighbors with the good news of Jesus Christ.

You are invited to come to a time where we will explore the role of the pastor in modeling and visioning as well as equipping the laity to be involved in life-giving ministry.
