Religious Programs and Chaplain Support at Forsyth Correctional Center
Forsyth Correctional Center offers several faith resources: a dedicated chapel, chaplain support, and multiple religious programs. Here's what the facility has publicly described, plus what you should confirm before attending or supporting services.
The facility has a chapel dedicated in 1987, built using funds donated by 100 churches in the community.
Area churches provide three full-time chaplains at Forsyth. If you're trying to understand what faith support exists inside, this is a clear sign that chaplain services are a standing part of facility operations.
Sunday religious services are open to offenders and their families. That matters if you're hoping to participate in a shared service with your loved one, not just support them from outside.
Forsyth lists two Bible study classes as part of its religious programming. Class times and sign-up instructions aren't included in the public description, so you'll need to ask staff how participation works.
A Yokefellow program is also among the religious offerings. If your loved one mentions it, knowing the program name helps you ask more targeted questions when contacting the facility.
Gideons programming is on Forsyth's list of religious resources. The public description confirms it's offered but doesn't specify how often it meets or who can attend.
Muslim services are also part of the religious programming. If this is the support your loved one needs, use that language when asking how services are scheduled and accessed.
The facility description ties chaplain support to two specific roles: area churches provide three full-time chaplains who work directly with inmates. These chaplains also lead Sunday religious services open to offenders and their families, the clearest family-facing piece of chaplain involvement that's publicly stated.
How to Attend Support
- ✓ Confirm the current service and program schedule (days, times, and where it takes place inside the facility)
- ✓ Ask what a family member needs to do to attend Sunday services, including any approval or check-in requirements
- ✓ Verify whether attendance is limited by housing unit, custody level, or space limits on a given day
- ✓ Check visitation rules that may apply to a service, such as dress code and what you can bring in
- ✓ If you want to support from the outside, ask what the facility allows for faith-related materials or requests, and the correct process to follow
