____________________________________________________________________________________Set Free Christian Fellowship focuses on reaching out to men and women on the sex offender registry, men and women who are on probation and parole, and the families of men and women that are incarcerated.
LOSTNESSWith an estimated 200 sex offenders and 800 ex-offenders, if not more, in Burke County, we need to reach these men and women with the Gospel. With a recidivism rate of 49% within two years of release in North Carolina, we know that the only way to reduce this rate is when individuals are transformed through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
GROWTHSadly, there are more and more people being arrested due to the drug epidemic. People steal to purchase drugs. People rob stores, families, and individuals for money to purchase drugs. Gangs fight and kill each other over territory to sell drugs. These are not only big city problems but small-town problems. Set Free Christian Fellowship will reach out to these areas with the Gospel.
FAMILIESWhen a family member goes to prison, the family is also in prison. Set Free will reach out to the families that have family members incarcerated. We share the Gospel with them. Set Free will provide them a place to worship where they will not feel ashamed.
We want you to come and worship with us. We want you to join with us and let us serve you. On Sunday,
