Volunteer to Minister in a Jail
Share God’s love through church services, Bible studies, Christian movie nights, parenting classes, the Victory over Addictions curriculum, or individual spiritual counseling.
Ways to volunteer without actually going (in) to jail
- Material Donations
Donate office supplies, toner, paper or office equipment. - Overseer
There are times when the volunteers already serving in a jail would benefit from someone overseeing their group. - Pray for MEC and the Inmates
Jail ministry is dependent on the prayers of our supporters. In addition, if you have a heart for intercession and can commit at least one hour per month to prayer for the inmates, we can provide you a monthly prayer letter listing their requests. - Volunteer as an Office Assistant
We are frequently in need of help with bulk mailings; data entry; phone calling; help with producing a newsletter, Missions’ reports, or the monthly prayer letter; typing answers to emails; and various other projects. - Volunteer Donation Coordinator
Request donations of books and Christian materials from organizations and distribute them to the jail libraries, volunteers and inmates. Items such as conference tickets can also sometimes be donated. - Volunteer to serve as a Fundraising Coordinator
Help raise financial support for the ministry through special events, grant writing, or researching existing sources. - Volunteer Interviewer and Trainer
Take the volunteer applications through the approval process, which includes obtaining their references, orientation and ongoing training, as needed.
