- Various studies have been conducted investigating the manner in which prison ministries have been facilitated by individual churches. Such studies have revealed the difficulties that some churches experience especially in the areas of maintaining a strong budget to support the ministry, recruiting volunteers to staff, and stabilizing pastoral support for their existence. Individual church ministries are strongly committed to the existence of prison ministry at the theological, emotional, and spiritual levels. However, the financial, labor, and emotional support which is essential to undergird a prison ministry is more than many churches can manage without external support. The prison population that attends chapel services has increased exponentially, which substantiates the need for Christian volunteers to minister in the prisons. The primary premise is that if more spiritually mature Christians called by God to the prison ministry would volunteer to minister, it might maximize the number of inmates coming to faith. The impact of prisoners experiencing a spiritual transformation through salvation might increase the chance of their families' desire for their salvation to be realized. This thesis poses the question whether collaboration among a 'cluster' of churches is essential to develop an effective prison ministry. The study examines test cases from three churches in Hartford, Connecticut which have developed prison ministries.
