Fountain Chaplain Support Ministry

The purpose of the Fountain Chaplain Support Ministry is to provide funding for a Chaplain to minister to the incarcerated women & staff at Fountain Correctional Center for Women (FCCW).  And based upon Christian principles and with other Christians serving as Chaplain(s), the Fountain Chaplain Support Ministry, with the  support of participating churches and individuals in the area, seeks to lead residents into a saving relationship with Jesus Christ.  We also seek to promote spiritual growth and maturity among those who already know Jesus as Lord.  Further, we will endeavor to create an atmosphere necessary for reconciliation, a fresh beginning and an end to the cycle of crime and punishment.
