Description of Get involved items:
Being a letter-writing chaplain
What happens next: Get in touch with your state or branch church institutional committee. If you don’t have one, fill-out our application. We provide you with training. And we’ll mentor you along the way until you can fly on your own. (If you don’t have an institutional committee, consider forming one).
Being a visiting chaplain
What happens next: Get in touch with your state or branch church institutional committee. If you don’t have one, fill-out our application. We provide you with training. The prison will most likely provide you with an orientation program. We mentor you along the way until you’re able to minister to inmates on your own. (If you don’t have an institutional committee, consider forming one).
Being on an Angel Team
What happens next: Embraced:Fully, a CS chaplain, or The Principle Foundation will alert you that an inmate is about to be released. Read the Embraced:Fully Angel Team Training Guidebook. Think of what skills you can offer. Meet other Christian Scientists who have volunteered to be on the team. Dive in.
