Calvary Jail Ministries

Currently serving in three counties: Forsyth, Davie, and Davidson, we are a non-profit organization dedicated to the salvation and restoration of inmates in these facilities. We distribute Bibles, daily devotional booklets, and study sheets for the classes we teach. In the weekly classes, we utilize discussions with experienced Bible teachers, video teaching materials, and worship music. We also make every attempt to support the guards and staff at these facilities.

We have regular Bible study classes with an average attendance of 20 inmates each at the Forsyth County Detention Center (downtown Winston-Salem) on Tuesday and Thursday nights, Thursday afternoon and Saturday afternoon. We also host a monthly worship service for men with an average attendance of 60 to 80 and a monthly worship service for Hispanic women with an average attendance of 15 to 25. This state of the art, maximum security facility is mainly a short term jail for pre-trial and misdemeanant adult inmates, but also houses some inmates from the federal correctional system.
Volunteers and worship services are coordinated by Robert Watson (see "contact us" button)

At the Davie County Detention Center in Mocksville, NC, we hold regular Bible study classes on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday with inmate counseling ongoing during the day. Volunteers are coordinated by prison chaplain, Mitch Jacobs (see "contact us"). This is a medium security facility.

At the Davidson Correctional Center in Lexington, NC, we are making weekly visits with inmates and are trying to set up a regular schedule of classes and counseling. Inmate capacity is 258 males and this facility is considered to be minimum security work release unit with a staff of 62. Volunteers are coordinated by prison chaplain, Mitch Jacobs (see "contact us" button).
