PRISON

Faith That Walks Through Prison Gates
At Worthy People, prison isn’t the end of someone’s story—it’s the beginning of a transformed life.
Through worship services, discipleship training, and one-on-one connection, we bring the message of Jesus to those who often feel forgotten.
Our prison ministry is built on one truth: you are not defined by your past, but by the grace of God.
Where We Serve

Weekly in-prison worship services

Faith-based recovery and reentry classes

Baptism events and discipleship groups

Mentorship and spiritual care visits
We currently reach over 4,000 facilities nationwide through our digital content and serve thousands more through in-person ministry.
The Power of Presence
There’s something powerful about being seen, heard, and prayed for in person.
Our in-prison team, led by founders Cody and Julia Ford, walks into cell blocks with compassion, worship, and the life-giving message of Jesus.
These aren’t just sermons—they’re life-changing encounters that bring light to the darkest places.
What Inmates Are Saying
“You showed me that God still loves me.” “For the first time in years, I felt seen.” “I gave my life to Christ at your service.”

In March I met Joe Nester and loved his heart and music. He wanted to do a prison tour with us next year and we had been talking about that. Our hearts are broken at the news of his passing. We are praying over his family, wife and children during this time. May the peace of God fill their hearts. Rest in heaven my brother. 💔🙏 ...

We had a powerful service at the TDCJ - William G. McConnell Unit. They call this service the "Spirit-filled" church service, and the Holy Spirit fell during a powerful time of worship, an a message from Pastor Cody Ford titled "What`s On Your Mind?" and encouraging message to trust in God and don`t live by your thoughts, feeling ands emotions or they will lord your life instead of the Lord Jesus. Followed by a time of one-on-one prayer and fellowship. We always enjoy spending time with these men! There is hope behind bars! #fortheone #prisonministry ...
