Chris was about to lose all the progress he'd made. He had been sober for four days, but the temptation to drink was consuming him. Something inside him told him to pray.

Prison Ministry Christmas Bag Outreach

“The Way Out” Prison Ministry is collecting items for their annual Christmas Bag Outreach project. They are hoping to assemble over 1000 bags for inmates in Cuyahoga, Geauga and Summit counties.

Reaching Out to those in Prison

In the book of Matthew Jesus calls us to minister to those in prison. Parkside Church has answered that call by partnering with Crossroad Bible Institute.

CBI provides biblical training to those incarcerated through volunteers who read and grade coursework for inmates anonymously. This provides an avenue of spiritual growth to men and women who desire it without compromising the safety and identity of the volunteers.

If you would like to find out more about becoming involved in Parkside's Prison Ministry, click on the "About" tab above or contact Jacque at jrplatek@parksidechurch.com or 440-708-2109.
