HistoryPark Forest Baptist Church began as a home Bible study under the leadership of its first pastor Jim Nolten. The first public worship service was held September 12th, 1982, at the Big Wrangler Steak House on North Atherton Street with 19 local people present. Finally, in October of 1987, the growing congregation moved into the new multi-purpose facility currently at 3030 Carnegie Drive, situated at the intersection of Valley Vista Drive and Carnegie Drive. After many years of faithful service, Jim Nolten, the church's founding pastor retired in the summer of 2016. The church then called Jeremy Field to be its lead pastor in the fall of that same year. Jeremy had previously served as the youth pastor from 2007-2013. Today the church is excited about continuing to be a part of God's kingdom work in the world as we faithfully serve our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.SpecialtiesOur Mission: We are a gospel shaped community that seeks to glorify God, proclaim hope to the world through Jesus Christ and live out the gospel by unleashing disciples in our world.
