Overview

Mission

As a religious non-profit organization, Sabbath Keepers Fellowship & Prison Ministry provides free services, programs and materials which minister to the educational, rehabilitative, spiritual and emotional needs of all Sabbath-keeping prison inmates in the USA, their chaplains, immediate families, and our free-world members, both during their incarceration and (to a limited degree) upon their release from prison.

What it reported doing in 2025

Chaplaincy Assistance & Support: We receive calls from prison chaplains across the country who are seeking answers to their questions or help with their needs for Sabbath-keeping inmates and prison communities. Many prison chaplains have had little experience with those of our faith and are not familiar with their beliefs and needs. Others lack contact with established ministries and resources to help them. We do our best to assist them with both of these dilemmas. We answer their questions and advise them about the beliefs and practices of our members. We provide our materials and supplies to them upon request and free of charge. We assist in locating and introducing new volunteers to them in their particular areas, help those volunteers get certified if required, then assist in conveniently scheduling their worship services, if necessary. We make arrangements with chaplains all over the USA for the efficient delivery of thousands of free Passover packages each year. When asked to do so, we attempt to resolve any problems between them and their Sabbath-keeping inmates or their families on faith-based issues. We also connect them with other beneficial ministries and resources.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
