While we offer a wide range of programs for those within the correctional setting. The core goal center upon providing a early start to re-entry in connection to their faith, while supporting four groups;

(a) offenders,

(b) ex-offenders,

(c) the local religious orders or jails, families, victims, and (d) our communities of ecclesiastical orders,

in the outlook for occupational/marketable skills building to the Ex-offender, Offenders and their families. All class start using two modules: (a) offering local programs of the institutions, and (b) correspondence (for location without a connection to DMECS). Our start dates, for those within community corrections or correctional setting are; Monday, August 18, 2025, Monday, January 26, 2026, Monday, May 18, 2026 & Monday, August 24 2026.

The College of Institutional Studies is an auxiliary of the Daniel Matthew Ecclesiastical College system (DMECS) and of the “World Council of the National Assembly of Churches.” Developed to support prison ministry, by providing ecclesiastical occupational & marketable skills to persons held within our correctional centers. We do not provide any college credit to persons within correctional institutions (except in a limited number of programs or ex-change students). All programs are skill based for professional studies in the given field or ministry the prisoner seeks.
