Forest Home’s Mission Encounter Jesus. Experience Transformation. Engage the World. 75 Years of HIS-Story Forest Home has a rich and moving history. It is sometimes said that our history is HIS-Story, and we believe that to be true. Forest Home has become a movement of God that has seen the winds of revival blow throughout Southern California and into the farthest reaches of the world. Since 1938, we have watched Him move in the lives of countless millions as each guest has been faced with life-changing decisions. Our chapel is filled with books–literally thousands of pages of personal history where guests write out their decisions, prayers, and cries to God.
