Kairos Prison Ministry Kairos Prison Ministry is an interdenominational Christian ministry that God has blessed tremendously in recent years here in California. Where there used to be only a small number of prisons being served, now there are many. During a Kairos weekend, a team of laymen and clergy go into a prison institution located for three days, to bring to as many as 42 new inmates Christ's unconditional love. Many men and women from the Southern California Walk to Emmaus Community have worked in the past, and are now working, on Kairos teams. Here is a list of the facilities where Kairos weekends are currently being held in California, along with contact information where available.
