What Can I Expect at Forest Park?
You can expect to find people just like you, trying to honor God as best they can and make the most of their lives. You can expect to see people dressed in jeans and a t-shirt standing next to someone who might be dressed in a coat and tie. Come as you are and Connect to God in a way He connects with you!
Forest Park Covenant Church opens their doors to children, students, adults, and families from many diverse backgrounds. As a community of people who choose to follow Jesus Christ and his teachings in every part of our lives, we are striving to become the kind of church described in the Bible-a church with…
- relevant teachings
- heart-felt worship
- honest friendships
- constant prayer
- compassionate care
We would like to have the kind of contagious Christianity that can influence and encourage our entire community, one life at a time. Our vision is to help people connect to God, connect to one another, and connect to the world. Your ability to connect to an area for learning, growing, and serving is important to us.
Information Center
Located at the main entrance to the Sanctuary on either side, the Information Center is staffed before and after our Sunday morning worship services to answer a broad range of questions. You can find information and the locations of Adult Bible Fellowships, children's and youth programming, as well as sign-up sheets for various events. Brochures of various ministries and events are also located at the Information Center.
Hospitality Center
Located in the church foyer, immediately following Sunday morning services, the Hospitality Center is staffed with trained volunteers. They are equipped to pray with those seeking prayer, share general information to guests new to Forest Park, and help those seeking church membership begin this process.
