Emerald Coast Messianic Ministries, Inc. is directed by Chaplain Jerry Rowley, and is an Alabama non-profit synagogue and ministry. Our only purpose is to minister to those souls incarcerated or reentering society after incarceration.

Emerald Coast Messianic Ministries, Inc.  provides both educational and worship opportunities to inmates in the Alabama and Florida. We are currently teaching a GED class, open to all inmates (regardless of religious affiliation) referred by the Century C.I. Senior Chaplain. We also lead and participate in Jewish Services at Century C.I. and Washington C.I. We are currently looking for volunteers for both Alabama and Florida to assist with worship services.

Emerald Coast Messianic Ministries includes active participation in the International KAIROS Prison Ministry in the West Florida Panhandle area. KAIROS is a interdenominational Christian Ministry that provides basic Christian teaching to men inside local prisons. This is accomplished via holding 4 day seminars/weekends in the prisons with a expertly developed and time tested program to change people's hearts for the Lord, our Messiah. We encourage anyone that is interested in prison ministry to look into KAIROS.

Chaplain Rowley is the Congregation Leader of the Messianic Jewish  Congregation on Shabbat (the Sabbath) inside Century C.I. at Century, FL. This congregation has a Torah study (Messianic Bible Study Group)  at 1 - 2 P.M. on Saturday afternoons. A Messianic Torah Service  is held each Saturday morning at 8  A.M. till 10 A.M. Chaplain Rowley also participates in a general Jewish Erev Shabbat Service each Friday afternoon form 1 P.M. to 2 P.M. in the Chapel building.

Chaplain Rowley also participates in the Jewish Erev Shabbat service at Century C.I. and Washington C.I. monthly. These services combine all Jewish inmates, regardless of which sect of Judaism they practice.

The ministry provides worship oriented Judaica items to inmates through donations. The prison libraries have a good selection of books and study materials on Messianic Judaism. Each man is provided a Kepah (head covering) and a Tallit (prayer shawl). Bibles are also donated to inmates. We thank both Beit Yeshua and B'rit Ahm Congregations for their generosity to provide these items to our congregants.

In addition to these ministries, we work with men after release to become reoriented into society. These men need not be Jewish, but only believers in Messiah, Yeshua (Jesus). Assistance includes referrals to halfway houses, clothing, tools for work, job referrals and counseling.

YOU CAN HELP!

Volunteers are needed to become worship leaders, teachers, assistants and fund raisers. All our services are only possible through donations from the public. Call us to see how you may help to fulfill the commandment Yeshua (Jesus) gave us in Mathew 25 to visit prisoners and provide for those in need.
