How long have you attended Forward? Since the beginning
How long have you been on staff? A year and a half
In what ways do you volunteer at Forward? I have served in most capacities in the worship center as well as serve at events
Tell us about a time that was especially meaningful for you in your time of ministry at Forward. It’s such a blessing to serve alongside so many like-minded, God loving people. Watching people grow in their abilities and step into new roles is wonderful to witness. We have the most servant hearted people who are always happy and willing to step in and serve in whatever capacity is needed. It’s also a blessing when people share that they were spoken to during church. This is evidence of the Spirit and a reminder that we don’t always know in what ways the Spirit may be moving and ministering to people.

Chest Of Joash
The Chest of Joash provides an opportunity to give above and beyond the normal tithe. The money from it goes directly to work needed done on our building.
In 2 Chronicles 24 we find Joash repairing the temple and a chest was set outside of it for people to bring a tithe that was used to pay the workers restoring the temple. Verse 10 says, “And all the princes and all the people rejoiced and brought their tax and dropped it into the chest until they had finished.”
A huge THANK YOU to all of you who have joyfully donated just as the Israelite officials and people did!
With money that has been raised in the Chest of Joash over the past 3 years ($50,089 since January 2017!), we have been able to
- Build a ramp off of our sidewalk for those with a handicap
- Dedicate parking spots in our parking lot with Handicap and First Time Visitor signs
- Seal our roof to repair several leaks
- Paint the exterior of the building along with the barn wood design and Forward Church signage
- Build classrooms in our back hallway for Bible studies and other classes to take place
- Pave and stripe our parking lot
- Currently working on expanding our worship space to provide room for more people (this was always the plan for this area but especially necessary now under COVID-19 response guidelines)
You can give to the Chest of Joash by clicking the button below and selecting “Chest of Joash” in the drop down menu.
