Greetings from our pastor

2025: Speaking Life into Being

Welcome to Forest Chapel! Whether you’re new or a regular, we are thrilled to have you in our faith community. As we step into 2025, we embrace a year to speak life, think life, and act life in the name of Jesus Christ.

Our church invites you to encounter God’s love, discover God's purpose, and grow in God's story. With Christ at the center, we serve as a Connector, Healer, Village, and House of Prayer.

Let’s walk boldly into this new year, trusting in God’s promises and reflecting on God's faithfulness. You matter to God and to us. Come connect and be part of the life-giving journey ahead.

 

Rev. Dr. J. Kabamba Kiboko, Ph.D. 

Sundays at Forest Chapel

Church can be an intimidating place to visit — especially if you don’t know what to expect. We invite you to experience what the gospel means both intellectually and relationally at one of our Sunday worship services. You can engage with others and find places for your whole family to connect. We hope that through visiting with us, you will experience the hope, love and joy that comes from a community of people who love Jesus.
