# Start A Fellowship

##### Create A Safe & Welcoming Community

### How To Get Started

One of our hopes for the Dismas Fellowship is that it continues to grow. The only
way this can happen is if people of faith reach out and respond by using the gifts
they have received to help those touched by crime. 
There are many things to consider
before proceeding with an actual group meeting and we think the best place to start
is with a conversation.

Each Dismas Fellowship is independent and is the responsibility of a group of caring
volunteers who are actively involved in creative works with those touched by crime.
The Dismas Fellowship Network is a group of these local Dismas Fellowships that 
has come together to share ideas and experiences.

Below you will find a list of the current members of the Dismas Fellowship Network.
Collectively we have a great deal of experience in the joys and the challenges in
running a Fellowship.

If you are interested in finding out about what is involved in starting a Dismas
Fellowship please complete the Contact Form and one of our current Dismas Fellowship
Network members will be in touch. It all starts with a conversation.
