Forest City Community Church Inc.

Forest City Community Church Inc. is a Canadian nonprofit organization based in London, Ontario. It was founded by Pastor Rob and Coby Hogendoorn, who began laying the groundwork for the church in 1992, inspired by a vision to create a community that would effectively connect with people having little or no church background[3][5].

History and Mission

The church was established with the goal of communicating God's love and truth in a contemporary and clear manner, aiming to reach individuals who had dropped out of church or had never been affiliated with one[3]. Over the years, Forest City Community Church has grown into a thriving community, becoming the spiritual home for thousands of residents in the London area[3]. It operates as an interdenominational church, welcoming people from diverse backgrounds, including Catholic, Protestant, evangelical, and those with little or no church affiliation[3].

Affiliations

Forest City Community Church is affiliated with the Christian Reformed Church in North America and the Global Leadership Network, a movement that fosters a similar approach in spreading the message and love of Christ[3]. The church is also actively involved with the Alpha program, using it to inspire a culture of invitation and build missionary disciples, focusing on reaching those who do not know Jesus[5].

Operations and Community

Forest City Community Church operates from two locations, offering a range of services and community programs. It hosts various events throughout the year, including Easter celebrations, and provides children's activities like Adventureland for infants through Grade 5[1][4]. The church is committed to helping people find faith and a sense of belonging within the community[3].
