“This is a ministry like no other. The inmates get a great opportunity to change their lives and maybe for the first time in some cases feel they have someone they can turn to. I am so impressed by the people who are working tirelessly to make a difference in other peoples’ lives.”
-Erv Inniger

"Every person in society benefits in some way from the fruits of jail ministry because inmates, upon release, are better prepared to successfully return to their families, work, communities, and neighborhoods."
-Dr. Vern Bennett, Cass County Commissioner

"The Jail Chaplains ministry is a critical part of our team at the Cass County Jail. They provide compassion, inspiration, and most importantly they bring Jesus to the lives of people who so need to hear the Word of God. We value and treasure our partnership with the JCA."
-Cass County Sheriff Paul Laney
