Who We Are

Forest Hill Presbyterian Church is a congregation of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA). We are a loving community of people who worship God in spirit and in truth, seek to faithfully proclaim and live the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and strive to serve one another and our community with the love of Christ. Our worship is reverent but relaxed, a blend of traditional hymns and contemporary worship, centered on the preaching of God's Word. Our doctrine is Reformed, as summarized in the Westminster Confession of Faith, and our community is warm and welcoming.
