Letters to Craggy

One of our ministries is to send a letter each month to be posted on the bulletin boards at Craggy. We started this when COVID-19 occurred. You can find those letters on the "LETTERS" page in the MENU.

About Us

Kairos at Craggy Correctional Center

We began hosting Weekends for Kairos at Craggy Correctional Center in 2017. Today we are a group of 73 Christian men who have been called by the Lord Jesus to minister to Craggy Correctional Center as part of the Kairos Inside ministry program. Our ministry is a Christian Based Prison Ministry. Volunteers come from all branches of the Christian faith. Our Mission and Beliefs page details this. 

In addition, there are many more volunteers who support Kairos at Craggy. These men and women support the ministry by serving in a multitude of tasks that occur outside of the Craggy campus. 


The History of Kairos Craggy

Kairos #1 at Craggy Medium was held in November 2017. John Klees was the Team Leader.

Kairos #5 at Craggy Minimum was held in November 2019. James Boettcher was the Team Leader.


After this, the COVID-19 Pandemic shut down almost everything. 

 

In the Summer of 2020 Kairos Craggy held some "Cookie Runs" in which packages of cookies and an inspirational greeting card were distributed.

The First  "Cookie Run" occured on Friday, 25 September 2020.


The second "Cookie Run" occured during Thanksgiving 2020.  


A third "Cookie Run" occured during Easter of 2021.  


Kairos Craggy held an outdoor "Meet Us At The Fence" event in October 2021.  


In December 2021 Kairos Craggy held a special event in which chicken sandwiches were provided to the inmates at both Craggy Medium and Craggy Minimum.  


By the end of December 2021 Craggy Minimum was closed. 

 

5 November 2022: A Special Gathering of Kairos Craggy Volunteers and others interested in prison ministry will be held at Central United Methodist Church in Asheville.  


Craggy Correctional Center is still operational at a very reduced level. Ministries and other volunteers are not permitted inside the facility. We expect and pray that we will be returning to Craggy in the very near future.
