Our Vision

Forum is becoming a mosaic of people striving to create a beautiful environment for the glory of God. 

We want to be a kingdom of God centered ministry. The kingdom of God exists for all people. In the very first sermon that Scott Sutherland, lead minister, preached at Forum he spoke of a church that looks like heaven: a church that touches all nations, all economic strata, and a church of beauty and excellence. That’s what heaven looks like. Forum is a biblically centered ministry that loves God and strives to connected people to God. As a ministry, these are some elements that drive our approach to achieving this dream:

WE VALUE:

1.  God and where He is at work. We aggressively and intentionally join God where He is working. 

2.  God’s word.

3.  You. You, your family, this community are valuable to God.

4.  Diversity – all people are welcome. This diversity spans to the arts and an eclectic approach to our weekly worship.

5.  Youth and children. As a church we have staffed toward building up young people. Our desire is to transform a community by raising up great kids.

6.  Small groups. People learn and grow best when they are connected to people and the Lord in a small group.

THE DREAM:

What does God dream for the church – and how does Forum fit into this dream?

God designed the church to be an eclectic place. The very first word for the church is ecclesia which means, “the called out ones.” And who did God “call out?” People from every nation, every tribe, every tongue, every walk of life, every age group, people with gender issues (the Ethiopian eunuch), people of wealth, people who live in poverty, and all in between. God calls people into this kingdom. We are an eclectic group with various talents, gifts, interests, passions, skill sets, expressions of self in worship, etc. As a stained glass window is comprised of various colors, bevels, and opaqueness – the goal of one of these windows is to create a beautiful environment using all of the above as a whole. We seek to be this kind of a community.
