This might look like your parents’ Presbyterian church - but inside it’s a whole different story.

Inside is an intentionally inclusive, progressive, Christ-centered, active and welcoming community.

Inside are open and affirming people who welcome and accept others no matter what: seekers and believers, liberals and conservatives, children, teens and families of every size, shape, type and color. People committed to spiritual growth, social justice,  and learning and sharing the good news of Jesus Christ.

What’s in it for you?

A place to belong, to serve, and to grow all wrapped up in a welcoming family full of fellowship, worship, education, and community outreach, including:

  • Bible studies that approach the bible honestly but not literally
  • Prayer groups where there’s no wrong way to pray
  • Sermons with questions as well as answers
  • Music that stirs and delights
  • Youth groups for teens full of faith and fun
  • Church School and events that kids beg to attend

So whether you’re emergent, evangelical, or just eager to explore, you’ll be welcomed and accepted. Whoever you are, wherever you are on your spiritual journey.

Everyone is welcome at Forest Hill.
No matter what age, race, ethnicity, gender,
sexual orientation, mental or physical ability,
marital status, economic status, differences of thought or belief,
or any other form of diversity you may exhibit…
all God’s children got a place in this choir!
