We believe that Jesus of Nazareth is the Messiah, the Son of the Living God and that He is our Lord and Savior.
We believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God.
For more on what we believe, you are welcome to attend our next newcomer’s class, which begins on October 19 immediately after Sunday worship.
Welcome
Forest Lake Christian Church is a small, independent, non-denominational congregation that consists primarily of older adults. Our worship is very traditional. We sing hymns accompanied by the piano and song leaders. We partake in the Lord’s Supper (communion) every Sunday. Participation in the Lord’s Supper is open to all believers; you do not need to be a member of our church to partake of communion with us.
When you attend Forest Lake Christian Church you can expect to experience God’s love and discover God’s plan.
Although we may not be the best church in Forest Lake, our desire is to be the best church for Forest Lake that we can be.
If you feel that today’s church has left you behind, Forest Lake Christian Church may be the church for you.
For more on who we are, you are welcome to attend our next newcomer’s class, which begins on October 19 immediately after Sunday worship.
