Nestled in the heart of Forest, Virginia, Forest Community Fellowship Church of the Nazarene is a place steeped in history. It’s where Thomas Jefferson spent the summers of 1801 and 1802, and it’s now a vibrant community of believers. We’re not just a church; we’re a family where you can connect with others over the gospel message of Jesus Christ. 

We’re part of the Church of the Nazarene, a global community of faith that’s dedicated to sharing the message of Jesus Christ with everyone. In our busy world, it’s easy to get distracted, but we believe in encouraging you to live a life that’s more like Jesus. Our family is here to support you on your journey and help you grow and live the Christian life in a full way. This is your place to Connect, Learn, and Grow! 

Our local church has a rich history that started with two new churches, Forest Community Church (The Kirk) in 1984 and Forest Family Fellowship in 2003. Both of these churches began their ministries in the Forest Recreation Centers. But in the fall of 2024, our ministries decided to join forces and keep the spirit of community and fellowship alive in our new name. We’re part of a global network of believers in 165 countries around the world who share our mission: “to make disciples of Christ in all the nations.” We’d love for you to join us as we embark on this exciting journey to serve our community, region, and the world.   

In John 10:10, Jesus reminded us, “I came that you may have life, and have it abundantly.”
