Red Clay Ministries: Home of The New Life Academy
The New Life Academy is a Nine-Month, Bible-based Academy that teaches inmates how to lead a productive life while incarcerated and how to continue the productive life upon release from prison. Red Clay Ministries is looking for churches to sponsor the New Life Academy and for church teams to lead the academies.
Sole Encounters' Events are held Inside the Fence
Sole Encounters Evangelism Ministry
Ministry Leader: Gordon McFarlane
The Sole Encounters Evangelism Ministry Team hosts events outside in the prison yard. Hundreds of inmates are in attendance at a Sole Encounters' event. The name, Sole Encounters, is based on the fact that people must have an encounter with Jesus Christ that is their own (sole) encounter. Jesus saves us and our soul is changed, solely, by our faith in Jesus Christ for eternal life. A Sole Encounter event includes a program of music, testimonies, speakers, and food.
“Always, everywhere God is present, and always He seeks to discover Himself to each one”

Red Clay Ministries, Inc.
RED CLAY MINISTRIES HAS 11 DIFFERENT MINISTRIES SERVING UNDER THE RED CLAY MINISTRIES, INC. UMBRELLA. EACH MINISTRY HAS A MINISTRY LEADER AND SERVES A DIFFERENT SECTION OF THE CORRECTIONAL COMMUNITY.
History of Red Clay Ministries
In 2002, the Ladies' Ministry of Oak Hill Baptist Church, Williamson, GA, began serving in a local prison for women. The ministry grew to encompass other prisons and jails and many volunteers. In 2017, the church prison ministry became Red Clay Ministries, Inc. in order to grow all ministries to the Correctional Community, attract more volunteers, and to work with other churches to serve inmates, their families, and correctional staff in Middle Georgia.
Red Clay Ministries Today
Today, Red Clay Ministries has over 40 volunteers. Twenty-six of the Red Clay Volunteers are certified by the Georgia Department of Corrections to go "inside" the state prisons to serve. Red Clay Ministries serves prisoners, correctional staff and the families of inmates.
The ministries of Red Clay serve the Correctional Community.

Deliver Hope Ministry
Ministry Leader: Rhonda Morgan, Interim
The Spalding County Jail houses approximately 500 men and women who have been arrested, waiting for trial, or have been sentenced and are awaiting transport to prison.
During the Coronavirus Pandemic, the Red Clay Ministry teams makes videos of Bible Studies and other special-interest topics and streams the videos, electronically, into the jail for the men and women being held at the jail.
Do you think that if Jesus was on earth today that he would be hanging out at the country jail? We think He would, because Jesus is a Chain Breaker.
The county jail is the first place of incarceration.
