ADVENTIST PRISON MINISTRY

The role of the State Prison Chaplain is to provide support, nurture and help to Adventist inmates.  Chaplains conduct Bible studies and make visits within the Greater Sydney area. Chaplains aren’t the only one’s who can do something.

There are around 1300 men in need of spiritual support and guidance at Long Bay Correctional Complex, one of the biggest and oldest prisons in NSW. The inmates hail from different walks in life, cultural and educational backgrounds, social and economic statuses and age groups, and from different faith traditions and religious organisations.
