Christian Prisoner Fellowship (CPF) is a ministry committed to extending the hope and power of Christ's gospel to over 7 million people currently behind bars, on probation, or on parole in North America's criminal justice system, as well as to their families.
 
  • Do you have a friend or loved one who is incarcerated?
  • Do you have a burden for the incarcerated men and women in your community?
Through CPF, you can contact a network of licensed CPF chaplains trained and dedicated to reaching your friends, family, and those in your community behind bars or in transitional living situations.  Or, if you have a vision to serve in this ministry, CPF can equip and empower you to be involved.
 
Chaplains are currently working toward the goal of establishing fellowships in every federal, state, county, and local correctional and transitional-living facility.  CPF provides instructional and motivational tools to equip these committed volunteers with skills, qualifications, and credentials necessary for effective ministry.

Christmas for the Children
Christmas for the Children is an annual outreach to the nearly 2.5 million children of North America who have a parent in prison.  This program has unlimited potential in connecting your church to children in your community who need the caring support of a Christian family, not only at Christmas, but throughout the year.  Contact CPF for information about the program so your church can reach out and build relationships with children and families in your area.

"Break-Out" is CPF's periodical that provides ministry reports, testimonials, and CPF news. Resourceful articles from CPF volunteers across the nation are featured with helpful information you can put into practice in your local ministry.  Contact CPF to sign up to receive "Break-Out."
