Who We Are


Mission Statement

We worship. We grow. We serve.

What We Believe

  • God is bigger and better and closer than we can imagine.
  • The Bible is God’s perfect guidebook for living.
  • Jesus is God showing Himself to us.
  • Through His Holy Spirit, God lives in and through us now.
  • Nothing in creation “just happened.” God made it all.
  • Grace is the only way to have a relationship with God.
  • Faith is the only way to grow in our relationship with God.
  • God has allowed evil to provide us with a choice. God can bring good even out of evil events, and God promises victory over evil to those who choose Him.
  • Heaven and Hell are real places. Death is a beginning, not the end.
  • The church is to serve people like Jesus served people.
  • Jesus is coming again.

Multisite Strategy

Forest Park is one church in multiple locations.

We dream of campuses where hurting, confused and frustrated families and individuals experience love, acceptance and hope that lead to genuine life transformation.

We dream of casual, contemporary, safe, and exciting worship environments where the life-changing Gospel is communicated in relevant ways to adults, youth and children.

We dream of campuses that are intentionally investing in the lives of friends and coworkers in personal and meaningful ways, as well as places where people are growing in spiritual maturity through Bible study and accountability within relationships.

We dream of campuses that are intentionally investing in our community by providing opportunities for meetings and events within our walls, as well as being involved in the local community outside our walls, places that are viewed by the community as essential.

We dream of campuses sending out hundreds of workers around the region to reproduce themselves and the dream of launching numerous campuses in the Four State Region.
