Forest Home Baptist Church was established deep in the heart of Kilgore, TX in 1889. We have continued to build upon our strong foundations over the last several years by building a Children's Education Building, a large multi-purpose facility which includes a gym/fellowship hall, an 1100 seat Worship Center, and a state-of-the-art facility for our Student Ministry. God has been extremely active in the life of Forest Home over the last 130+ years. There has never been a more exciting time to be a part of His plan for this body of believers than right now.

Members of this church are united around our Mission statement: Worship - Connect - Serve - Go.
