Providing faith and pastoral services for all who live and work in prisons.
Prison chaplains
Prison Chaplains in England and Wales are employed by HM Prison Service and various private providers to offer faith and pastoral services for all who live and work in the prisons.
A Prison Chaplain who is from a Free Churches background will work as part of a multi-faith Chaplaincy team, proportioned according to the faith breakdown of the prison. They will share fully in ministry and service to prisoners and staff, and offer a particular role in meeting faith needs of those who identify themselves as Free Church.
