Latest Sunday Service
Welcome from the Pastor!
Hello and welcome to the website of Forest Baptist Church! I am excited that you have chosen to visit our site today and I hope you find it to be helpful. My name is Reid Stevens, and I am the pastor here. FBC is a church that is founded solely upon the gospel of Jesus Christ, meaning we allow the gospel to drive all we do as a church.
I want to invite you to come worship with us one Sunday morning at 11:00. We are a friendly congregation who love to have guests join us. You can expect a service that is Christ-centered and God-honoring in both music and preaching. Our goal is for people to encounter the risen Christ.
If you have any questions that our website doesn’t answer, then please let us know. Feel free to call our church office or send me an email anytime!
In Christ,
Pastor Reid

Did you know that the little town of Bethlehem was called “the house of bread”? That’s why the best bakery in the town was called “The House of Bread”. One day the bakery was extra busy with visitors who were in town for the census when the owner’s son, a shepherd, bursts into the bakery with tales of angels appearing in the night sky. What happens next!? You’ll have to come on Wednesday, December 10 at 6:00 p.m. to find out!
