What happens when you get 65 staff, 70 guests and 220 residents together for a two day conference?
Culture change! We can make micro adjustments to make a big difference and that’s what GLA is doing for our community at Jefferson City Correctional Center.
August 26 and 27 - Staff, Guests, and residents gathered together to attend GLA. We heard from guest speakers, Dr Matt Lucas, Dr Krish Kandiah, David Ashcraft, Todd Henry, Bo Cornelius and Jake Bodine. On positive changes and how God has touched their lives. We listened to some of our residents about leadership, humility, integrity, and how God has changed their path to help others.
Director Trevor Foley, Division Director Myles Strid, Zone Director Earl Dye, Warden Kelly Morriss, Deputy Warden Kyle Kempker, Deputy Warden Norman Graham, and Major Justin Davison gathered for different round tables about the change.
We want to thank Second Mountain for their support. We’d also like to thank Willow Creek, God Behind Bars, Crossroads Church out of Cincinnati, Our Daily Bread Ministries, 4th Purpose, and LCBC, Bo Cornelius for all of their support leading up to these amazing two days, and their continue support.
Last but not least, we’d like to thank Bush’s Catering for providing amazing food for those two days!
