For over 85 years, Forest Home has been a movement of God, seeing the winds of revival blow throughout Southern California and into the farthest reaches of our world.
Since 1938, millions have come to Forest Home and had their lives epically marked by God.
Our chapel is filled with thousands of pages of written history from campers documenting their life changing decisions, prayers, and cries to God.
Forest Home exists for people to Encounter Jesus, Experience Transformation, and Engage the World.
Forest Home Ministries will partner with the Church to create a revolutionary Christ-centered experience in which people of all ages hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ, explore the Word of God, pursue God’s call for their life, engage in Christ-centered relationships, and connect with God through His creation.

Henrietta Mears for one tenth it's asking price.
It took an act of God to make that possible.
It wouldn't be his last...
