WELCOME TO AGAPE JAIL MINISTRIES

Thank you for visiting our ministry. My heart is to help men and women find and follow Jesus Christ, and to share the same hope and transformation that the Lord has worked in my own life. I’ve been preaching the Gospel for over 50 years, and for a portion of that time I have served as an ordained minister. Through every season, God has shown me His power to redeem any story — just as I’ve seen in the remarkable testimony of my dear friend David Berkowitz. (See his powerful story on Son of Sam Testimony page). His transformation continues to inspire me and reminds me that no one is beyond the reach of God’s grace.

At Agape Jail Ministries, we serve inside the Marion County Jail with compassion, prayer, and the truth of God’s Word. I’m blessed to be surrounded by a team of Spirit‑filled volunteers who faithfully minister alongside me. Together, we work to ensure that every person behind the walls knows they are seen, valued, and deeply loved by God.

We’re grateful you’re here. May the love of Christ shine through everything you see and experience on this site, —- Chaplain Mike

We exist to bring the hope, peace, and transforming love of Jesus Christ to the men and women of the Marion County Jail and detention center located in Hamilton, AL. Whether you are a family member, a volunteer, an officer, or someone seeking prayer, we are here to serve with compassion, integrity, and grace. Our mission is simple: to shine the light of Christ in a place that often feels forgotten. Every visit, every prayer, every message of encouragement is a reminder that no one is beyond the reach of God’s love. Thank you for partnering with us as we bring hope to the incarcerated and support to those who serve them daily.
