Overview - Eagles Fellowships
Eagles Fellowships were initiated in 1989 to 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.
Six Eagles Fellowships meet at the following locations:
- Mecklenburg Jail-North
- Mecklenburg Jail Annex
- Union County jail
- Charlotte Correctional Center (Prison)
- Stonewall Jackson Training School in Concord (Youth Facility)
The standard format for an Eagles Fellowship:
- Welcome
- Introduction/Explanation of SCM and Eagles Fellowships
- Inmate testimonies
- Bible study
- Prayer
- Follow-up discussion
- Music/Inmate solo
- Closing prayer/Dismissal
