Vision
We want inmates to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
To grow in the word and know the importance of being planted in a local church.
Not only to receive from the Lord, but to give back.
That the local church has a Spirit of adoption and receive the ex offender into their congregation.
A fellowship of churches came together to form the Clark County Jail Chaplaincy. The Sheriff's Office donated office space for the ministry. The Chaplaincy became a 501C3 nonprofit and began to raise funds for a full time Chaplain.
The primary programs of the ministry is to hold chapel services, see inmates on a one on one bases, work with families of the incarcerated, and more. It's a team effort of volunteers from all types of backgrounds and denominations working with Chaplain Tony Bailey to minister salvation, restoration, and discipleship. The ministry is funded by Churches, individuals, and businesses.
