During the Christmas season, one of the most important church services, put on by the Taylorville Ministerial Association is at the Taylorville Correctional Center for the inmates. Jason Hoffman from Crossroads Ministries in Taylorville leads the services at the center and said he sees what the Sunday services mean to the inmates. He said the first time he preached at the correctional center, he could tell the difference it made as it moved the majority of the men listening, and brought hope back to many of them as well.

Hoffman said these church services are important to the men at the Taylorville Correctional Center and to the community because many of the men there are close to being released, and the Taylorville Ministerial Association hopes to show these men how to live by the Gospel everyday.

Hoffman appeared on the NEWSTALK WTIM Morning Show.
