How has FHBC impacted your life?

I have many great memories at FHBC. One of the greatest ways FHBC has impacted my life is I have learned to show empathy and how to love all people.

How has FHBC impacted your life?

Ever since I was born I have been going to Forest Hills and I was involved in everything possible. I was in Mother's Day Out and always participated in Vacation Bible School. I went to Sunday School and Service every week along with going to Choir and Royal Ambassadors every Wednesday. In 4th Grade I went to Fargo on a mission trip with other Forest Hills members and it was an awesome first experience in the mission field. When I was in the preteen program I went to Centrikid all three years and it was a blast. I was so excited to join the youth group in 7th Grade and it was everything I dreamt it could have been. I loved being a part of Sundays and Wednesdays, but I especially enjoyed going to Summer Camps and Mission Trips to Indianapolis, Birmingham, Philadelphia, and Salt Lake City. Forest Hills has impacted my life without a doubt. I have met and developed relationships with so many people that I hope to stay connected with in the future. I really wish I could be there for Senior Sunday but I will be using all I learned from Forest Hills in order to lead a group of Freshman on a Younglife Trip to Gatlinburg that weekend. Thank You for everything Forest Hills, I genuinely appreciate all you have done for me.

How has FHBC impacted your life?

Forest Hills has provided a loving and accepting community for me to grow spiritually and gain confidence in sharing the Gospel. I have grown with my friends and family and learned to keep Jesus central in every aspect of my life. I know I am not perfect and fall into sin, but I know I am saved and redeemed through Jesus's sacrifice which is something I could never deserve. Under Forest Hills, I have progressed as a Christian and have recently been baptized, accepting Jesus as the Lord and savior of my life. I have a deep love for all the members of my this church and those not part of it, as they are all brothers and sisters to me through Christ. As I am preparing to journey into the next part of my life, Jesus will be my mainstay and I hope to continue participating and being a part of Forest Hills no matter where I may end up.
