FEAST

FEAST is a faith-based prison ministry program providing support for current and formerly incarcerated people as they re-integrate into society.​
How did this program start?
The FEAST program started out as a Bible study at the Community Correctional Center in Lincoln, (which led to a few attending worship with a sponsor), and has now become a ministry of worship, meal, and study for as many as 40-50 FEAST partners (inmates) and their families.

What do those involved in FEAST do?
Volunteers include 1) sponsors who travel with or help transport partners to and from worship and offer oversight of the partners during their time at OSLC;        2) small groups from OSLC and local congregations who provide lunch for the partners and their families each Sunday; and/or 3) individuals who lead classes and workshops after lunch, supporting partners in life-skill development via Bible studies, music, fellowship, and more!

How can I help?
If you would like to personally become involved with FEAST, or if you would like to make a monetary donation, please contact Alissa Gunning at 402-483-4126 or outreach.oslc@gmail.com. To help with preparing meals, contact Lindsey Engel at foodministry.oslc@gmail.com.
Bridges to Hope is a service to men and women who have been released from incarceration and are making the transition to a productive life outside of the cell. A first step back into the community requires a place to live and items to set up a home. We provide furniture, clothing, household items, & personal hygiene products at no cost to the men and women we serve. Items are donated by generous community members such as yourself.

followers of christ

Followers of Christ is a worshiping community established within the walls of the Nebraska State Penitentiary in Lincoln, NE. Led by Pastor Rob Corum, inmates lead worship together and celebrate Holy Communion and Baptisms together.

Often, inmates who transition to the Lancaster Country Correctional Center in Lincoln will continue their faith journey at OSLC through the FEAST program. You can learn about their stories below.
