  SCM Student Quote:

I am currently enrolled in the School for Correctional Ministries, focusing in the ministry area of reentry leadership.  I have served in the reentry field for approximately eight years and taking these courses has increased my skills, competence and efficacy.  It is my belief the training should be a requirement for anyone going into prison ministry, whether it is behind the walls or aftercare.  This program has blessed my life and will benefit those God will have me serve.
