Religious and Spiritual Programs at Forsyth Correctional Center — Family Attendance Information
If worship helps your family stay grounded, Forsyth Correctional Center allows family participation in Sunday religious services. Here's what's offered and how to plan ahead.
Sunday religious services at Forsyth Correctional Center are open to both offenders and their families. This means you may be able to attend worship alongside your loved one - not just during regular visitation. Schedules and entry procedures can shift, so confirm the current service time and any attendance requirements before making the trip.
Note: Family attendance is permitted for Sunday services, but online information isn't always current. Call the facility directly to verify details before you go.
Forsyth offers several religious programs worth knowing about when you're planning a service visit. The facility lists two Bible study classes, Yokefellow and Gideons programs, and Muslim services. Having these program names handy makes it easier to describe what you're looking for when you call.
- ✓ Two Bible study classes
- ✓ Yokefellow
- ✓ Gideons
- ✓ Muslim services
Area churches provide three full-time chaplains who work with inmates and lead the Sunday services families can attend. If your loved one has a religious need, a faith-related concern, or questions about services, the chaplaincy handles those conversations.
Tip: If you’re unsure which service your loved one attends - or what family members need to do to be admitted - ask to speak with the chaplain’s office when you call.
Double-check logistics before you travel. The North Carolina Department of Adult Correction's visitation webpage sometimes returns access errors, leaving you without the details you need. A quick phone call can save a wasted trip and clarify what to expect for a service visit versus a standard one.
- ✓ Confirm the Sunday service time you’re trying to attend
- ✓ Ask where to check in and how early you should arrive

- ✓ Ask who to contact if you have a faith-specific question (chaplain’s office or visitor staff)
- Call Forsyth Correctional Center before you go - get the most current information for that specific Sunday.
- Ask to be routed to the right person - request the chaplain’s office or the staff member who handles service/visitor coordination.
- Confirm family attendance details - verify that family members may attend Sunday services and ask what ID or approval is required.
- Lock down day-of logistics - ask about parking, when to arrive for check-in, and any dress or security rules that could prevent entry.
