What We Believe

Meet Our Team

At Forest Avenue Baptist Church, you come as you are. You will see members in jeans, pants, dresses and a few with a suit. Wednesday night's Bible Study is also casual and informal.

What To Expect

You can keep your baby in service with you or take advantage of our excellent nursery ministry. Our trained staff and volunteers will ask you to sign in your child. Your child’s safety and security is very important to us. We have children's Sunday School classes, Wednesday night activities for the kids, and during our Sunday morning services, our families worship together.

Our church is a place where all are invited in to discover who God is and the purpose He has for all of us in His story. We think church should be one of the most engaging and exciting places on the planet—a place where people of any and all backgrounds can experience a God who is real and relevant in their lives today. And that's exactly what we want to help you do!
