At Friends Fellowship, we believe every woman deserves to experience hope, forgiveness, restoration, and the unconditional love of Jesus Christ. Regardless of her past, each woman has inherent worth and the opportunity to discover a new future through faith, personal growth, and meaningful relationships.

​

Many women who enter the correctional system carry burdens such as trauma, addiction, broken relationships, abuse, loss, or feelings of hopelessness. Through the love of Christ and the support of caring volunteers, we seek to remind every woman that she is not defined by her mistakes, but by her value as a child of God.

​

Friends Fellowship is made up of dedicated Christian volunteers who faithfully serve women throughout Indiana's correctional facilities. After completing all required training and facility orientation, our volunteers regularly enter prisons to lead Bible studies, facilitate healing and recovery programs, encourage personal growth, and provide opportunities for women to experience hope, connection, and spiritual transformation.

​

We also encourage service opportunities that help participants learn the importance of giving, compassion, and serving others, following the example of Jesus Christ.

​

OUR PURPOSE

 

Through every class, Bible study, mentoring relationship, and outreach effort, Friends Fellowship seeks to:

​

Share Hope and Faith

​

Introduce as many incarcerated women as possible to the hope, forgiveness, and transforming love found through a relationship with Jesus Christ.

​

Encourage Spiritual Growth

​​​

Provide biblical teaching, discipleship, and meaningful opportunities for women to deepen their faith and understanding of God's Word.

​​

Support Healing and Restoration

​​

Create environments where women can experience emotional healing, personal growth, healthy relationships, and renewed purpose.

​​

Expand Ministry Opportunities

​​

Continue growing our presence throughout Indiana's correctional facilities so that more women can access faith-based programs, encouragement, and support.

​​

Strengthen Reentry and Outreach Efforts

​​

Support women as they transition back into their communities by building connections that encourage long-term success, healthy relationships, and positive life change.

​​

LOOKING FORWARD

​​

Our vision extends beyond prison walls. We envision a future where every incarcerated woman in Indiana has access to the message of hope found in Jesus Christ and the opportunity to experience healing, restoration, and a transformed life.

Through the dedication of volunteers, supporters, churches, and community partners, we continue working toward that vision one life, one relationship, and one story at a time.
