Statement Of Action

Kingsway is a service ministry reaching out in Christian Love to inmates, ex-offenders, and their families.

We accomplish this by:

2. Providing training to individuals and Churches, enabling them to work with those who have been affected by the criminal action of others;

3. Encouraging individuals and Churches to welcome ex-offenders and his or her family to Christian fellowship and service to Christ;

4. Offering training and resources to individuals and Churches to share the gospel of Jesus Christ to those in prison and their families.

Volunteerism and Financial Support

Corporate Structure

Kingsway Prison & Family Outreach came into being in the Commonwealth of Virginia as a non-profit corporation under the provisions of chapter 2 of title 13.1 of the code of Virginia. It was started in 1977, then named and chartered in 1983 by Shelton M, and Louise W. Jennings, who reside in Virginia and who serve as Directors of the corporation. They are assisted in the operation of Kingsway by up to 17 volunteer members of a Board of Directors. They have had an office in Harrisonburg since 1984.
