A Message to Our Community from the AC of Forest Hill Presbyterian Church

After much prayer, discernment, and difficult conversations, the congregation of FHPC ceased church operations in December 2025 with a planned date to close as a congregation in June 2026. In this time of transition, the Administrative Commission (AC) of FHPC, along with The Presbytery of the James (of the Presbyterian Church USA) will be continuing the management of the space while we explore opportunities with ministry and community service organizations that are interested in the future of the building and grounds. The Forest Hill Child Care Center (FHCCC), a long-time ministry of the church, continues to operate on-site as a thriving, independent non-profit, offering safe, affordable childcare to the Forest Hill community. In addition, many other community groups continue to rely on this space.

We invite you to join us at one of our planned Community Listening Sessions: March 23rd and March 27th, from 7:00-8:30pm at the church. If you have a moment, please fill out our pre-meeting survey: https://forms.gle/phFMgjC94UiBLsnB7.

We hope to connect with you and discover together what God has in store for the FHPC property!
