Prison Ministry

No life is beyond the reach of God’s power, and we envision a future in which countless prisoners, ex-prisoners, and their families, are redeemed, restored, and reconciled through the love and truth of Jesus Christ. We equip our church family volunteers to spread the Gospel and nurture disciples within our county jails, so that men and women become new creations in Christ.

King’s Fire Church ministries to the incarcerated is led by Pastor Rich & Diane Caliendo serving five different correctional facilities:

• Downstate Correctional Facility Sunday night Bible study: King’s Fire Church leads a Bible Study on Sunday nights and the team is often asked to assist the Chaplain at the Sunday morning worship service.
• Kairos Prison Ministry at Coxsackie, Greene and Shawangunk Correctional Facilities:  Kairos is a four day retreat weekend in the prisons in basic Christianity. Following the weekend, the inmates are encouraged to be involved in small groups focusing on accountability, encouragement and prayer. Kairos volunteers continue to return to the facilities after the weekend and provide discipleship and mentoring. Those groups meet weekly on Monday and Tuesday nights.
• Shawangunk Sunday worship service and Tuesday Bible study: Pastor Rich & Diane Caliendo assist the Chaplain at Shawangunk Correctional during their Sunday worship service and lead a bible study the 4th and 5th Tuesdays each month.
