Ministry
Some of the Pastors that are
proud to stand with and minister
at Forestside.
There is a growing fellowship of
Pastors in Ireland, Scotalnd, Wales
and England.
Our prayer is for a unity of
ministers for the sake of Christ
and His body.
The strength of any Church is found
in the measure of unity, trust and
humility of those who minister.
There has always been a great emphasis upon the ministry of the word at Forestside.
The Lord has called his Sheperds to "Feed His Sheep". This Royal call must not be trifled with, not even for personal ambition.
The Word belongs to the Lord and is for one thing in the assembly, the edifying of His Body.
When the sheep are fed they feel contentement, security, and peace; and this will cause presonal and corporate growth.
This is what is taking place at Forestside Christian Centre.
New Life
The whole message of the bible
begins with and ends with life.
Life is the centre of Gods plan
for all that come to Him.
There is no alternative to life.
The vision of the young people
at Forestside is a vision of life.
A prescious life is a life to covet
The only message for our young
people is the message of life.
Christ our life!
And They Shall Worship.....
