Serving Inside the Prison
Your Gifts Are Needed Here
At The God of Hope Ministries, volunteers don’t just support our mission — they are our mission. Our prison ministry is built almost entirely on the dedication of ordinary people answering an extraordinary call.
We operate faith-based dorm programs inside both men’s and women’s prisons, and we need passionate volunteers — men and women alike — who are ready to bring hope, healing, and God’s love to those behind bars.
Whether you feel called to show up weekly inside the prison or prefer to serve from the comfort of your home, we have a place for you. No matter your gift, your skill, or your schedule, there is a role in this ministry that was made for someone just like you.
God doesn’t call the qualified — He qualifies the called. Come serve with us.
Role Descriptions
Teacher
Teachers teach the full dorm of students (24 in the men’s dorm, 50 in the women’s dorm). Each teacher teaches only one class per week for one to two hours. We have 15 class periods each week, at 7am, 9am, and 1pm each weekday, so we need 15 teachers to fully staff a dorm.
Discipleship Group Leaders
Discipleship group leaders lead Christ-centered accountability groups that meet weekly for one to two hours. The discipleship group leader can meet with their group during the lunch hour, after 4pm or on weekends.
Discipleship Coaching
Life coaches come alongside a selected student to provide spiritual encouragement, friendship, counsel, and accountability. The coach meets weekly for one to two hours with their student. We would love to have a coach for every student in our dorms, but that means 24 coaches in the men’s dorm and 50 coaches in the women’s dorm. We always have openings for coaches.
