The Keys operates in all levels of our jail and prison systems. We have teams working in local municipal and county level jails as well as all levels of security in the Missouri state prison system, holding over thirty services per month in six facilities. We work with both male and female offenders inside the institutions and also run a reentry office in the greater Kansas City area helping ex-inmates integrate back into the community. Our desire is not evangelism alone but that we might be used of God to teach those he puts us with to Learn, Love, and Live the Word of God.

Rev. Gene Purtle heads up this ministry with the help of three key men who oversee different teams. There are opportunities for individuals to be involved as little or as much as desired, daytime or evenings, weekends or during the week.

This Bible study aims to accomplish specific objectives in the lives of believers already possessing a basic understanding of Scripture and the Christian walk. KCBT members worked to develop this study to edify others in our church family. We have a systematic and biblical method of discipleship designed to lay a solid, doctrinal foundation in believers' lives. While most women become interested in this study after they complete our discipleship study, every woman's circumstances are unique. For this reason, we ask all those interested to fill out an application and get the signature of their Ministry Fellowship pastor. Contact Roberta Morgan if you are not a member of a Ministry Fellowship.

This study will prove most effective when applied to those who already have a good grasp of the Bible and Christian responsibility. We strongly recommend that you use this study accordingly. If your church currently does not have a systematic approach to discipleship we would welcome your call (816.358.0988) or correspondence to discuss with you other materials, processes, and helps we may have to assist you.

We have firm biblical convictions regarding the authority of the local church and never want any of the materials or studies we produce to undermine or weaken your church. For that reason, we encourage you to show this material to your pastor and discuss it with him before beginning any organized attempt to teach this material in your church. Your pastor has the God given responsibility to protect your church from teaching he would deem unacceptable for any reason. Please encourage him to contact us directly in regard to any questions he may have or to inquire about other materials available to help local churches establish a solid, biblical foundation in the lives of their members.
