We offer ONE-DAY TRAINING SEMINARS, free & open-to-the-public, usually twice-a-year. This is MINISTRY training, not security training.  All Jails & Prisons have their own security training.  Our next ONE-DAY SEMINAR is on Saturday, September 27, 2014, 9am - 3:30pm, at Wayside Cross Ministries, 215 East New York Street, Aurora IL 60505.  To register, please email Chaplain Tom at tbeatty@waysidecross.org.

For more in-depth MINISTRY training, we also offer a CHAPLAIN'S TRAINING ACADEMY, usually twice-a-year, in the evenings preceeding the One-Day Seminars.  This is conducted by our training partner, Rev. Rich Hines.  The CHAPLAIN'S TRAINING ACADEMY (CTA) is offered in four, one-week segments (four evenings plus the ONE-DAY SEMINAR).  Completion of all four one-week segments earns a credential.  There is a very small cost for these classes. The next CTA is scheduled for Tuesday through Friday evenings, 6-10pm, September 23-26, 2014, plus the ONE-DAY on Saturday, September 27.

Of course, we specialize in ON-THE-JOB training - actually ministering as part of a team, to the inmates & staff, in the jails & prisons.  Subscribe to our JAIL-MAIL newsletter to keep informed of opportunities.
