The God Squad orientation is where you will get the training that you need to go inside prisons and other correctional facilities. Prison ministry requires that volunteers be carefully selected, trained and supervised. Trainees are selected on the basis of availability, Christian maturity, and ministry needs. We seek to maintain ethnic and denominational diversity among our members. Applicants are screened through the God Squad Orientation process, and again as they are cleared through local, state and federal correctional agencies.
Anyone may take the training course, but you must be 21 or older to get a facility clearance. Upon completing the course requirements and being cleared, you will become an intern – working under an experienced worker. Each of these orientations proves to be a great blessing to all involved. As you prepare for this class, please be in prayer that God will use this time to accomplish His own purpose in your life and ministry. Please call the office if you have any questions. Someone there will be able to assist you. The number is 510-881-1178. Or, you can send an email to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
