Our Forest Lake Church family has a history of “Building Boldly for Jesus.” We started as a handful of believers who embraced a mission to bring the light of Jesus to our community and the world! In the last 82 years, our pioneers have sacrificed to make that dream become a reality. We have richly benefited from their sacrifice.

Now we face our own opportunity to sacrifice. At this historic moment in the history of the Forest Lake Church, we have the privilege of leaving a legacy for those who walk behind us. This church expansion project isn’t just about acres of land, bricks and mortar, concrete and buildings. It’s about being faithful to our mission: To teach the word of God, lead people to Jesus and help others to do the same. We are called to bring the light of Jesus to our local church family, our local community, our world church, and a world that still needs to hear the Good News!

Christian recording artist Steve Green captures the historic opportunity that we face with these words:

Oh may all who come behind us find us faithful
May the fire of our devotion light their way
May the footprints that we leave
Lead them to believe
And the lives we live inspire them to obey
Oh may all who come behind us find us faithful

Please join me in responding to God’s call.

With Christian love and prayers,

Pastor Derek Morris
