About

History

Orange County Jail Ministry was founded in 1980 for the purpose of bringing inmates  to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ, Last year over 2,000 inmates received the  gift of salvation, and throughout their stay, the ministry continues to nurture them in the principles of Christian living.

With funding from private donations only, the ministry has five chaplains, six assistant chaplains, and one office manager while providing Bibles, study materials and many reading glasses. More than 100 volunteers minister to the inmates and the governing board is comprised of volunteers from many denominations. The ministry is nonsectarian in recognition of the inmates’ many religious affiliations.

Testimonials

I would like to start by saying thank you to Frank Smith, Mr. Coleman, Ms. Donna, Mr. Earl, Mr. Mike and all the other volunteers that make this program possible. Without everyone’s love and dedication to teach the Word, I myself might have never built my relationship with the Lord nor fixed things in my life that I was failing at like being a good husband, father and person.

Testimonials

These Bible studies kept me upright in my walk with Jesus…so again thank you all for working behind the scenes to keep this Faith-Based Dorm running. We know God works through you all, and we give God all the glory, and praise for the miracles he works up here.

Testimonials

My return to 4-alpha (Faith-Based Program) this past May, was deeply inspiring and rejuvenating. 4-alpha changed my life, set me on fire for god. He started by showing me the Messiah through the eyes of Christianity and then showed me the same Messiah through the eyes of the Jewish people. And so my return to 4-alpha was even more interesting than the first time.

Testimonials

Thank you all for assisting us to stay positive in this environment. Many regards and God Bless!
