Eagles Fellowship
Eagles Fellowships were initiated in 1989 to disciple inmates in the ways of God. These Fellowships give inmates the opportunity to meet weekly with fellow-inmates and volunteer laypersons for open, honest discussions of spiritual topics in order to encourage their on-going, positive life-change. Eagles Fellowships are offered to inmates in minimum custody facilities to help them prepare for re-entry into society.
Five Eagles Fellowships meet at the following locations:
- Mecklenburg County
- Union County
- Alexander County
The standard format for an Eagles Fellowship:
- Welcome
- Introduction/Explanation of SCM and Eagles Fellowships
