A Message to Our Community

After much prayer, discernment, and conversation, Forest Hill Presbyterian Church has made the difficult decision to bring the life of the congregation to a close.

This decision was not made lightly. For generations, this church has been a place of worship, fellowship, service, and care—shaping lives, families, and the wider community. We are deeply grateful for all who have been part of this story: members past and present, pastors, staff, volunteers, neighbors, and partners.

While the worshiping congregation is closing, we want to be clear that the building will remain open and active. Forest Hill Presbyterian Church will continue to house and support community-serving ministries, including the child care center and other groups that rely on this space. Our commitment to serving the Forest Hill community remains strong, even as this chapter comes to an end.

We invite all who have been part of this congregation—or who simply hold it close in their hearts—to join us for our final worship service on Christmas Eve at 4:00 PM. This will be a time to gather, give thanks, and honor the life and legacy of this church.

We move forward with gratitude for what has been, faith in what God continues to do through this place, and hope for what lies ahead.
