CMCA 2025 Correctional Ministries Summit
May 2-3, 2025
Northland Church, Longwood, FL (north Orlando)
I always learn so much. The resources and connections help to grow our ministry every time!
Not just the excellent information, but the passion and dedication of the presenters caused me to return to my place of service with renewed enthusiasm and dedication.
Don't Miss this year's CMCA Correctional Ministries Summit!
The CMCA Summit is a unique gathering of Christians engaged in correctional ministry and chaplaincy to receive:
- instruction through specialized workshops
- inspiration through engaging plenary sessions
- encouragement through many networking opportunities
This was my second year at the summit. There aren’t enough words to describe being in the presence of so many brothers and sisters who share the same vision & compassion toward those whom society and often many churches discard. What a blessing!

The Summit provided a wonderful blend of worship, networking, learning and reflection. Each year we are able to add more to our ministry tool box for the best.
