24 Tips for Praying

Sep 14, 2023 | , ,

Pray Scripture. Nobody believes God’s word more than God Himself. Think of your devotion as a conversation. First, listen to His word then, like you would talking to any person, respond to what He said in prayer.   If your mind wanders, get creative. Praying out...

FBC Mission Trip to Thailand

Sep 12, 2023 |

What do you want for Christmas this year? It could be an opportunity to share the real meaning of Christmas with someone who has never heard the truth. In Thailand, Christmas exists primarily in the shopping malls. Only about 2% of the people know the real meaning,...

Our Vision

The purpose of Forest Baptist Church is to “propagate among all people the gospel of Jesus Christ and to provide opportunities for worship, training, spiritual growth and service.” In short, “To Know Him & To Make Him Known…”.

Our Mission

Our church is a missions minded church. We are actively involved in missions around the world. From our ever-present missions emphasis to multiple international and domestic mission trips each year we seek to involve our members in missions.

Our Preaching

Preaching at FBC is primarily expositional, meaning that it seeks to declare the point of a particular Bible passage. Our passion in preaching is for biblical accuracy to shape contemporary life. All preaching is gospel-driven and Christ-centered.

I'm New

We believe that the church should not be made up of a single, homogeneous group, but should be as diverse as the community in which it is located. In fact, we want to look as much like heaven as possible. That’s why we welcome and encourage people of any age or race, or from any walk of life, to visit with us. You’ll find both young and old gladly worshipping and serving the Lord side by side at Forest Baptist Church (FBC).

When I Can’t Forgive Myself

When I Can’t Forgive Myself

Apr 23, 2023 | , ,

You blew it. You knew it. And be honest: this time, it was big time. Maybe it was a major sin. Maybe it was that nagging sin. Maybe it was a brand-new sin. You can’t believe you did it, but you did. Now you feel terrible. The guilt is crushing. The regret is...

FAQ About Family Worship

Mar 20, 2023 | , ,

From time to time, in my sermon, I will share a moment from our family Bible time. It’s usually something funny or insightful that one of my children said. The old TV show’s name is true: “Kids Say the Darndest Things;” and our family worship seems to bring out the...
