We are in the process of replacing the ailing sign located over the campus on Ingram St. Yet, rather than merely call the place, "the Campus" or FHCC, we would like to give the place a name of its own. Are reasons for such a decision are two-fold:1 - We want to reach Non-Christians. The campus (like all of what FHCC does) is designed to reach non-Christians with the message of Jesus. Many people will never darken the doors of a church out of sheer prejudice and fear. Some on the other hand, because of their current religious affiliation are not allowed to enter a "church" building.
If we are going to keep reaching FHills for Jesus, then we need to keep presenting viable opportunities for people to do so. Giving the campus a unique name will disarm skeptics and encourage curious seekers to enter.
2 - We're about a Movement, not a name. Forest Hills Community Church is just the beginning to what God is going to do in NYC. By naming this first campus with a unique name, we will remember that it's just the beginning of what God is longing to do to redeem our neighborhood, city, and world.
