Kids

Kids are a vital part of our congregation! Instead of relegating them to a separate space, we want to include and involve them in our Sunday worship services. By being a part of the life of our church, kids learn what worship is all about! Kids are allowed to be comfortable and familiar with worship. They are also surrounded by the example of supportive adults.
 

Sunday Worship

Our services are created with everyone in mind. We want both kids and adults to be able to engage with what happens in the service. Demonstrations, videos and skits help everyone walk away with a memorable experience. There are activity bags available and a table in the back of the worship center if families should choose to use them.
 

Wednesday Night Programming:

Forest Hills serves a FREE community dinner every Wednesday night from September through May. The meal is served from 5:30 – 6:15 pm followed by ECHO and Echo Jr., our discipleship for kids and adults alike! Hope to see you there!
 

Echo

Echo has been revamped for this year. We will have a team of adults take on different roles throughout the evening to teach, to encourage, to build generational bridges. Throughout the year adult grow groups will rotate into Echo, serve as disciple-makers for that cycle and then resume a normal grow group come next cycle. We also have incorporated a time of mentoring in which adults and kids will be paired together for a chance to connect across generational lines and experience what it is to make disciples!
 

Pre-K/Nursery

We love babies! Nursery is available Sunday mornings. Whether they are cooing or crying, napping or gnawing, our nursery is up for the challenge. Nursery staff are CPR and First Aid trained and certified. On Wednesdays, we have ECHO Jr. this is a focused time for bible learning for those 4 years and under.
