Emergency Shelter Prayer & Bible Study Leader

Partner Description

The Salvation Army's mission is to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and to meet human needs in His name without discrimination. The Salvation Army's Adult Rehabilitation Centers (ARCs) provide residential recovery programs for individuals seeking to deal with substance abuse and other addictions. They seek to help participants regain self-worth, learn how to build an orderly and disciplined life and become contributing members of society. Each program participant is provided with a clean and healthy living environment, nutritious food, group and individual counseling, spiritual direction, work therapy assignments, and recreational activities.
Need
Cultivate a space of peace, spiritual growth, and community for adult neighbors walking through a season of recovery! For residents living in an emergency shelter, a focused hour of scriptural reflection and intentional prayer can be a vital source of strength and hope. By volunteering to facilitate these small gatherings, you can model a healthy prayer life, teach foundational faith practices, and uplift clients in their spiritual journeys.
More Details
This is a deeply relational, faith-centered opportunity for individuals who feel called to lead, teach, and pray alongside adults in transition.

When: Flexible evening options are available weekly on Wednesdays, Fridays, or Saturdays from 6:30 PM – 7:30 PM.

What You'll Do: Guide a small group of shelter residents through prayer, share encouragement, and teach the basic elements of how to build and maintain a consistent, personal prayer life.

Age Requirement: This opportunity is strictly for volunteers 18 years and older, as this facility exclusively serves adult residents.

Requirements: Because this opportunity takes place inside a residential shelter facility, volunteers will coordinate directly with pastoral staff to ensure alignment with facility guidelines.
