Two Locations.

One Savior.

For more than 45 years, Forsyth Jail & Prison Ministries has worked with volunteers from churches across our community to share Christ’s love and compassion as a path to new life with thousands of incarcerated men and women, many of whom found not only a new life in Christ, but also a new life and second chance in the community after release. 

“Remember those in prison as if you were in prison with them.” – Hebrews 13:3

FJPM currently ministers to more than 750 incarcerated men and women at the downtown Forsyth County Detention Center (jail) and the 250 men housed at the minimum-security Forsyth Correctional Center (prison) off Cherry Street.
