PLEASE NOTE

The Church office will be closed December 26–January 2.

ROKU and APPLE TV App Users 

We have heard a number of our online viewers can no longer conveniently access our Sanctuary Services through our Roku and Apple TV apps. We have been working hard on resolving this issue. In the meantime, you can access our livestream by going to the YouTube app (found in the same place where you found the Forest Lake Church) and searching for "Forest Lake SDA Church." We also stream to Facebook and our website. If you need any help, please reach out to the church office, and we will try to do our best to find a solution that works for you. Stay tuned as we hope to find a solution very soon!
