Forest Baptist Church

About this church

Forest Baptist Church is a missions-minded Southern Baptist congregation in Forest whose stated purpose is “to know Him and make Him known.” Sunday services begin at 8:30 and 11 a.m., with Sunday School at 9:45 a.m. Nursery care for children from birth through age four is available during both services. Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. brings separate adult, children’s, and youth activities. The church describes its preaching as expositional, Christ-centered, and driven by the Gospel, drawing the main point from a biblical passage and connecting Scripture accurately with contemporary life. Its statement of faith is the Baptist Faith and Message 2000.

Ministries encompass children, youth, college students, men, women, music, small groups, GriefShare, Sunday School, and care for members. Forest supports Southern Baptist mission work financially and sends members on domestic and international trips, with named partnerships in Japan, Central Asia, Thailand, and Puerto Rico. The ten-acre main campus includes a sanctuary, classrooms, children's areas, playground, pavilion, and library; an original building and cemetery sit down the road. A four-step membership process includes a class, interview, elder approval, and congregational vote. Online information does not describe service duration, music style, dress, parking layout, step-free access, check-in security, Communion frequency, or hearing assistance.
