Brown County Jail Ministries' (B.C.J.M.) purpose is to meet the spiritual needs of the incarcerated, their loved ones, and the correctional staff of the Brown County Jail.
Our vision is in response to our belief that God has called us to witness the hope, love, and reconcilitation of Jesus Christ.
Brown County Jail Ministries will accomplish this vision by providing a Chaplaincy Director and corresponding programs that address spiritual concerns and core values of life.
In partnership between the Brown County Sheriff's Office and the Brown County Jail Ministries the Jail Chaplain shall provide for the spiritual needs of all inmates and correctional staff in the Brown County Jail.
