4 Hours Per Month Can Change A Generation.
We all remember someone who made a lasting impact in our life. That one adult who showed up, listened, and guided you during a crucial time in your life. That great need still exists today.
Ezekiel Ministries’ mentors are reshaping children’s futures. Through just 4 hours each month, adults like you are building deep connections to kids who need to know they matter, that God sees them, and that they belong.
Our mentoring programs exist because of quality, Jesus-following adults.

- Actively involved in a local church.
- Resident of Richland/Lexington counties for at least one year.
