Becoming a Member at Forest Hill Church

Stepping into a covenant.

A Personal Invitation From Doc

Hear from Doc about why membership matters at Forest Hill Church and what it means to partner together as the body of Christ. 

What Membership Means at Forest Hill

Membership is more than attending church. It’s a covenant, a commitment to God and to one another. At Forest Hill, that commitment shows up in four Marks of an Ambassador: 

  • Believe in Jesus: Believe, be baptized, follow Him.
  • Choose Community: Grow your faith with other believers.
  • Serve the Cause: Strengthen the church with your gifts.
  • Invest in the Kingdom: Give your time, talents, and treasure — here and around the world.

Our Commitment to One Another 

Becoming a member means making a covenant—a sacred commitment to God and your church family to support Forest Hill’s mission and vision. In return, Forest Hill commits to support you as you grow in Christ and in authentic community. 

As a member, I commit to: 

  • Following Jesus as my Lord and Savior 
  • Choosing community through a Life Group 
  • Serving in the ministries and mission of the church 
  • Investing my time, talent, and treasure, including faithful financial giving 

Forest Hill commits to: 

  • teaching God’s Word faithfully 
  • shepherding and caring for you through our Elders and Deacons 
  • helping you take your next step 
  • providing ways to grow, serve, and belong
