Detention Center Ministry History

West Side Church of Christ has been actively involved in the detention center ministry at the Todd County Detention Center since its re-opening in the fall of 2007.  Jacky Moore served as our first Detention Center Minister until the time of his death on April 28, 2012;  many other members of West Side and other Todd County congregations of Churches of Christ also participate in this ministry.
