Life Events at Forestgate
Church space useIf you are considering holding an event at Forestgate, we are here to support you. Below you’ll find helpful information on memorials and weddings, as well as a link to our Online Event Request Form. The cost associated with holding an event at the church is dependent on the space utilized and staff hours expended, among other factors. Forestgate offers a discount on event costs for members and the Event Coordinator will provide you that information. Please let us know if you have any questions, and we look forward to serving you.
The Event Coordinator checks emails Monday-Friday only. Please allow for time for a returned email.

What To Do When Someone Passes Away
Report the death to the appropriate authorities:
If death occurs at a private residence or at the scene of an accident, call 911 and report the death.
If death occurs at a private home with in-home hospice, the hospice agency will contact the authorities (law enforcement and other authorities).
If death occurs at a medical facility, the medical facility will contact the appropriate agencies. The medical facility may also need to know your choice of a funeral home.
Call one of the pastors or elders for pastoral care.
Call family and/or friends for moral support.
