What to expect.
Forward Church is a place where you’ll find real community, powerful worship, biblical teaching, and something for the whole family.
Atmosphere
Come as you are. Leave encouraged.
We’re a casual, welcoming church where you don’t have to have it all together. Whether you’re in jeans or dressed up, you’ll fit right in. Expect friendly faces, genuine community, and a place where you belong from the moment you walk through the door.
Worship
Live music that lifts up the name of Jesus.
Our worship is heartfelt and Christ-centered — not just songs, but a time to refocus, reflect, and respond to who God is. You’ll experience a modern style of worship that prepares our hearts for the message.
Teaching
Hope-filled truth straight from God’s Word.
Every message is grounded in Scripture and speaks to real life. You’ll walk away encouraged, challenged, and reminded that hope is alive because Jesus is alive.
forKids
Fun, safe, and centered on Jesus.
Our forKids ministry (Nursery–5th Grade) is designed to help children build a foundation of faith through age-appropriate Bible teaching, games, music, and activities. From secure check-in to loving volunteers, we care deeply about creating an environment where kids feel safe and seen.
Propel
Faith-building for the next generation.
Propel is our student ministry for middle and high schoolers. Students gather for fun, friendships, and deep faith-building through worship and teaching. Middle schoolers break out during Sunday’s message, while high schoolers return for Propel High Night every Wednesday at 7PM.
Community
Coffee, conversation, and connection.
Come early, grab a cup of coffee, and meet someone new. Whether you’re ready to jump in or just looking around, you’ll find space to connect at your own pace.
