Greetings from our pastor

Welcome to Forest Chapel! Whether you are visiting for the first time, returning after some time away, or are a long-time member of our faith family, we are grateful you are here.

Forest Chapel is a community rooted in God’s love and shaped by prayer, worship, and service. We seek to follow Jesus Christ by growing in faith, building meaningful relationships, and sharing God’s love with our neighbors and the world.

Here, you will find a place of welcome, connection, and belonging—a place where questions are honored, gifts are nurtured, and lives are transformed by grace. We believe that every person matters to God and has a place in God’s story.


We invite you to worship with us, grow with us, and serve alongside us as we seek to live out God’s call together. May you experience God’s presence, peace, and purpose here at Forest Chapel.

Rev. Dr. J. Kabamba Kiboko, Ph.D.

Sundays at Forest Chapel

Visiting a church for the first time can feel unfamiliar, and we understand that. At Forest Chapel, you are welcome just as you are, and we want you to feel at home from the moment you arrive.

Our Sunday worship services invite you to experience the gospel in ways that engage both the heart and the mind. Through worship, prayer, Scripture, and community, we seek to grow together in faith and understanding. There are opportunities for people of all ages to connect, serve, and belong.

We hope that when you worship with us, you will encounter the hope, love, and joy found in a community that seeks to follow Jesus Christ and live out God’s love in everyday life.
