What to Expect on Sunday
The first thing that you'll notice visiting Forest Park is that the people really care about one another. They greet each other by name, and they'll want to know you, too.Our parishioners don't just come to church here - they are the church.
The music in our worship service leans toward traditional. We sprinkle in a more modern song here or there, but we tend to sing from our hymnal quite a bit. The accompaniment is mostly piano and organ (our Pastor even plays sometimes!), but we do often have special musical selections by our members.
You'll find our parishioners dressed in anything from suits, to dresses, to blue jeans, and all their "Sunday's best" in between. Come how you are. There's a place in the family of God waiting for you here.
