ON THE FRONTLINE WITH FOREFRONT: HOW WE’RE RESPONDING TO COVID-19
In the midst of this pandemic, things change quickly! Forefront has been actively creating ways to support our community, doing our best at the frontline of this pandemic. In addition to our weekly livestreamed service every Sunday at 10am ET, along with our live watch parties at 11:30 ET and 1:30pm PT, and our virtual small groups, many of which are meeting online or via sharing study tools, we have taken new initiatives in the following four areas:
Help. Our team and volunteers directly help those in need in the NYC area
Families. We extend our teaching resources and energy to all parents
Access. Now, anyone, anywhere in the world can join our community with a wide range of virtual gatherings
Social Justice. We stand for inclusion and anti-racism. Check out how we act
Below you will find links to detailed information for each initiative.
We’ve been humbled by the amount of ideas, volunteering, and the general care we’ve received these past days. We’ve never been more proud of our Forefront community! Keep sharing, offering, and being a voice of solidarity and support to others.
From the entire Forefront team: Stay safe, keep smiling, know that we’re in this together, and see you soon at our next virtual service or gathering.
"There is a lot we don't know. But we do know that for right now, the earth continues to spin and Forefront's purpose on this earth does not change. We are to be a Just and Generous Expression of the Christian Faith. We'll take active steps to live out our calling and purpose in the midst of this unique time. We'll continue to be the hands and feet of God, bringing peace to this kingdom and providing hope when it's needed most. We'll continue to seek out practical ways that our church can support and assist all of God's people in this difficult time. That I can promise you."

While our focus is on our local community here in NYC, our virtual doors are open for all. Visit this page for important articles and updated information that help you quickly navigate government programs, access local resources as well as find legal advice.

Parents and Kids
Creative juices running thin? Looking for inspiration? Ideas? A shoulder?
Our Kidstuf dream team gives awesome game ideas, detailed lesson plans (including progressive Christian content for kids), but also, offers parental downtime for Mom’s and Dad’s during weekly virtual groups!
A group might be just what you need!
Online Gatherings
From Sunday Sermon to Wine Online to Watch Parties, we offer many ways to meet and connect during these times.
Whether NYC-based or not, all are welcome!
It's a great a time to step out (virtually) and meet some new people, share your thoughts, reflect with God and open your heart.
