Two Locations.
One Savior.
For over 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 over 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.
