Staff

Dr. Dale Underwood became Director of this ministry on January 1, 2022 with Buck remaining to assist him. Dale’s journey over the last 35 years in youth/education/pulpit ministries, singing across the country with the Sounds of Glory, as an education administrator, and working with adjudicated populations during the last decade brought him to KCPM. Dale is also a Licensed Child Care Administrator with additional training in trauma-informed care. He looks forward to being part of this marvelous staff and volunteers. His goal? To reach as many as possible with the knowledge of Jesus.

Buck Griffith assists Dale in directing this ministry under the oversight of the elders, Kings Crossing Church of Christ. He first became involved in this unique ministry in 1971 and his passion has increased over the past 50 years. A native of Corpus Christi, he and his wife (Janet), came to serve Windsor Park/Kings Crossing in June 1977. The prison work grew steadily through the years and in 2002 – after 25 years as the church’s preaching minister – Buck turned to serving in this mission field for the rest of his life.

Karlene Underwood (Dale’s wife) joins the KCPM team in the fall of 2021. She has walked with Dale throughout their ministry journey that now brings them to Corpus Christi and Kings Crossing. She has a rich background in fiscal business, legal, and clerical areas which will help our day-to-day office procedures. In addition, Karlene has a background as a music educator. With her voice and spirit, a strong singing aspect will assist our Reconciled & Renewed and other in-prison events.
