You have many choices when it comes to places to worship, connect, grow, and serve Jesus Christ.

So we are honored that you are exploring Forrest Burdette.

We sincerely hope that you will consider visiting us for worship on Sunday or for one of the many weekday programs offered for children, youth, and adults.

SERVICE TIMES

Our Sunday morning 8:30 AM Worship leans toward a traditional style and the 11 AM Worship leans toward being more contemporary. Whichever you chose you will be welcomed.

You may wish to take your birth to age 2 children into our nursery which is warm, nurturing, and well-supervised. The nursery is located off the narthex on the right. After “Good News for Children” age 3 to third graders may leave to attend “COOL Club”.
