Foundations That Guide Us

Our Core Values

At Forest Hills Baptist Church, our core values reflect who we are, guide how we live, and shape how we love God, one another, and our neighbors.

We value the Bible and Bible-centered preaching and teaching as the foundation for all that we do.(2 Timothy 3:16-17; 1 Thess. 2:13; Mark 13:31; 2 Peter 1:20-21; Rom. 15:4)

We value vibrant Sunday morning worship experiences and thriving Sunday School classes and discipleship opportunities — something for every age and life stage. (John 4:23-24; Colossians 1:9-12, 3:16)

We value a community built on personal connection and care, intercessory prayer and authenticity. (Hebrews 10:24-25; Ephesians 6:18; Romans 12:10)

We value the spread of the Gospel and gospel-centered multiplication both locally and globally through strategic partnerships, outreach opportunities and purposeful mission engagements. (Matthew 28:19-20; Romans 10:14-15; Psalm 105:1; Isaiah 6:8)

We value "every member ministry" where each person in our church body is equipped, empowered and entrusted to serve using the unique gifting that the Lord has given them. (1 Corinthians 12:7-11; 2 Corinthians 5:20; Galatians 5:13; Mark 10:45)

We value making eternal investments of our time, treasure and talents, and the development of a lifestyle of generosity that recognizes God's ownership of everything. (Psalm 24:1; Colossians 1:16-18, 3:2 & 17)
