There are 60 + courses available in English and nearly 40 in Spanish. The free courses offered through the Prison Ministry are “popular” level and not for college credit. However, the courses are quite challenging and the transcripts from ECS Ministries are often used for parole hearings and entrance into further educational programs.”

A number Prison Coordinators (PCs) throughout the country distribute the courses into prisons. To find contact information for your nearest Prison Coordinator, click here to go to the map.

Each coordinator has a curriculum which establishes a basic knowledge of God (salvation emphasized) and provides for more advanced courses as the student progresses. The initial course offered to inmates (for free) is entitled Born to Win. Some coordinators also include supplemental literature to ECS such as Navigator’s. Volunteers do all grading of courses through the coordinator’s area of responsibility from local churches, etc.

In order to get inmates enrolled in our program, simply refer their names & complete addresses to their nearest Prison Coordinator or to ECS Ministries. The initial course will be sent soon after.

In order to prevent confusion or duplicate orders, the prison coordinator keeps each student's individual records. After completing a course, the student will be sent the next course in his or her curriculum. This provides a well-structured, systematic study of Scripture and practical Christian living. We have many student testimonies on record of how ECS courses have benefited inmates. Certificates are awarded for completion.
