Jail Ministry
Charity Baptist Church Jail Ministry consist of preaching the Gospel of Christ in our local County Jails. This ministry has been active since 1993. Numerous men and women have been saved as a result.
Our Pastor, Tom Gresham started the ministry with a handful of help, and currently oversees the project with the aid of the Assistant Pastor, Brian Hargis. Today we currently have 11 Chaplains from our church who conduct services and follow-up on converts who have enrolled in the Mailbox Club.
One of the ministry's greatest success story is of David Charles Spurgeon. He was a high ranking officer of one of the largest motorcycle gangs in the world. David was saved as a result of this ministry on November 30, 1990. Now he is an Evangelist and travels all over the globe with his family, both singing and preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
