Forestdale Community Church



 Fenway Park

    It's Summertime in New England!  And that means:  Red Sox Baseball!  Fenway Park.  Hot Dogs, peanuts, and Cracker Jacks.   We're looking for a little warmth in the weather, and some fun with family and friends!   Fenway Park may be a little small as ballparks go, and a little older than many other cities have, but it is a gem of a park.  And there's a certain sort of intimacy that comes from watching the game knee to knee with the people on either side of you!

   The Forestdale Community Church is a lot like that (though without the baseball game we're sorry to say!).  The gathering place is small, but there's an intimacy that comes from squeezing in together!  And we believe that getting to know God together gives us more to be excited about than even Red Sox/Yankees games can produce!

   And that's what we are all about:  a people learning to love God, love each other, and make disciples of others who will do the same.   A people set free by God to live out the good news of Jesus Christ.

   We believe God has actually given us great victory in our lives.  He has set us free from sin and guilt, from selfishness and pride, from lust and envy, from self-righteousness and unbelief, all through the amazing grace of Jesus Christ, and by the power of His Spirit!  We'd like to share that victory with you.

   Simply come by for worship on a Sunday morning at 8:30am or 11:00am, and experience a little "Springtime/New Life/victory" for yourself!

So what will you find if you come by for a visit?
  • small in size
  • modest in appearance
  • informal atmosphere
  • a welcoming feeling of grace, mercy, and acceptance
  • God-centered, vibrant worship
  • lots of kids and older people mixed together
  • no choir, but lots of communal singing
  • supportive people
  • love of the Scriptures evident
  • prayer and preaching are central to worship
  • visitors welcomed quietly
  • an enduring presence in our neighborhood

Where are we?

Right on the northern end of Malden, Massachusetts!  That means there are about 100,000 people living within 10 minutes of our door.  If you are one of those people looking for a place where you can come to know God and grow to spiritual maturity in Christ, then come and join us!
