When the Gospel Reaches the Lost and Forgotten, Unexpected Pathways to Renewal Open

Training on the Inside: Seminary Satellites

We believe that God can transform the lives of incarcerated men and women and call them to radical ministry within prison walls and upon release.

World Impact’s Prison Ministry program takes an inside-out approach to prison ministry, training thousands of prisoners and returning citizens to do effective ministry behind prison walls and in their communities.

"I got involved in TUMI in Centinela Prison, Level 3. For me there was accountability with a lot of the brothers. They were always like, ‘Did you study today or did you read your Bible?" Or "Did you do the memory verse?’ There was a sense of accountability, a sense of community that regardless of how dark it was, how chaotic it was, there was a community that loves God and one that was willing to meet every few times a week just to study or just to fellowship or to worship.” -Justin C., Los Angeles, CA

How does it work?

World Impact’s Prison Ministry Program trains churches and ministries to equip prisoners and returned citizens to do effective ministry in and through the local church in two ways.

Training on the Inside

We establish Church-Based Seminary satellites inside prisons in partnership with churches and ministries like you. We are currently training over 1,400 leaders on the inside.
  • Apply to become a Church-Based Seminary Satellite on the inside.
  • Complete supplemental prison site coordinator application.

Training on the Outside

Outside, as part of our incarceration network, World Impact resources partners who offer our Church-Based Seminary courses to returning citizens upon release.

World Impact identifies churches and reentry ministries located in communities where men and women are paroled to facilitate the completion of their coursework that began on the inside.
