"From the earliest gatherings of believers, to belong to Christ meant belonging to His people. The New Testament never imagines a Christian life apart from a committed community. Being part of the church wasn’t optional—it was central. So what does it look like to join and become a part of Forest City Church? In this six week series, you'll step into a journey to discover not just what what we do at FCC and how we do it, but you'll discover who we are. More specifically, what it looks like for someone who decides to be a part of this community. Hopefully you'll join us on the journey.
