Celebrating and Inspiring CSC Volunteers

New Life Church in Abbotsford

Hear from men whose lives will never be the same because of building relationships with volunteers while incarcerated. Be inspired by volunteers who are excited to live out their calling to follow Jesus wherever he leads. Explore the many different pathways to ministry among those who are, or were incarcerated in our communities.

Sponsors will include agencies and individuals who have a presence in the prisons and/or are helping those released to safely integrate into a community. These includes protestant chaplains from Fraser Valley Institutions, agency directors from Better Life Canada, Bridges of Canada, Outreach Canada and M2W2 .
