A Special Welcome to our Military!
Vaughn Forest would like to welcome all of its military families. Whether you are here for one Sunday, one year, or one lifetime, we want you to know we are excited you are with us. Here at Vaughn Forest, we want you to know that we value you and invite you to get plugged in, regardless of how long you are in Montgomery. Check out the info located below to answer any questions that you may have about Vaughn Forest. In addition, we invite you to come by a Welcome Party after any Sunday service in the West Cafe for special info and to learn how to plug into Vaughn Forest Church.
Your First Time Here
Service Times are at 9:30 & 11:00 a.m. every Sunday.
Location – Vaughn Forest Church is located at 8660 Vaughn Road.
Parking – We have provided Guest Parking spots in the front parking lots near the entrance to the building for you and your family.
Enter the Building – To make the main entrances easy to find, we have put two large tents outside (one on either side of the building). Once you walk in the door you will be greeted and our volunteers have been trained to take you anywhere you need to go. They will have all the info on Preschool, Kids, Student, and Adult small groups. We want you to know that you are our guest and we are excited that you are here!
Worship Services
Vaughn Forest Church offers weekly worship gatherings on Sunday mornings at 9:30 and 11:00 AM. Our worship style is relevant, dynamic, and our goal is to make it the best part of your week. There is music, videos and of course a message every week from our Pastor Eric Smith that meets you right where you are at and is easy to apply to your life.
All ages are welcome, dress however you like, and you are invited to bring your family with you. It doesn’t matter if you like to raise your hands or keep them in your pockets, worship at Vaughn Forest Church is for you!

For Kids
Vaughn Forest Church provides friendly, well-staffed Preschool (6 months – Kindergarten) and Children’s (Grades 1-5) areas where your child’s safety and growth are at the forefront of all that we do. When you arrive at Vaughn Forest, a greeter will be happy to escort you to these areas.
We know how important your child’s safety is and we take it very seriously. We have a simple but secure check-in system that our volunteers will be happy to help you get set up with. After check-in, you can drop your child off in a well-staffed room where they can have fun, learn, and grow.
KidzForest (Grades 1-5) is held every Sunday at both the 9:30 and 11:00 a.m. service times. Both groups have children’s worship every Sunday. This is a fun, low-pressure time for the kids where they can be with their friends and grow spiritually. An appropriate message is given each week that will match your child’s age and attention span along with music and games. Your kid will love it!
If it’s your first time to with us, visit the first-time guest check-in area where we will get some basic information from you or you can pre-register below. The next time you arrive, you’ll be able to head to one of six kiosks to check your child in. A sticker will be printed after check-in to be placed on your child that matches to a slip that you will need to turn in to check out your child.

Students
Middle school, High school, and College are such pivotal points in everyone’s life. We place a high value on creating intentional experiences each week that students will want to be involved in, providing great opportunities for personal growth.
We want you to know that the student ministry of Vaughn Forest is ready for you! It’s our desire to reach this generation of students in a way that helps them encounter Christ and live lives that honor God while impacting the culture in which they exist. Come and be a part of something great!
Sunday Life Groups
Student Life Groups meet in the Warehouse at 9:30 a.m. Our Student Ministry Life Groups provide an opportunity for students to connect with each other and trusted adults as we journey through life together.
Mid-Week Worship
Please join us for an incredible time of exciting music, great teaching, and tons of fun on Wednesday nights at 6:00 p.m. in the Warehouse. This allows for students to have a lot of fun while having the opportunity to mingle with peers and have an encounter with God.
Adults
We believe life change happens in a community. We are committed to being people who do life together. Our life groups are our most effective way for adults to be connected relationally and to grow spiritually as part of Vaughn Forest Church. These groups meet on campus and off campus at a variety of times.
Our goals are to study the Bible together and then apply the lessons to our daily lives in order to find more fulfillment in life, build better homes and families, help others discover the joy found in the Christian life.
If you are interested in joining the band, you are more than invited to come! Contact our Creative Arts Pastor Chad Boak to schedule an audition time. Our band practices on Wednesday evenings at 6:30 p.m.
Serve
We know that many of you will only be in the Montgomery area for a short time, however, we want to welcome you to plug into what God is doing at Vaughn Forest. There is really no better way to plug in than to serve. Whether you are interested in leading/hosting a life group, working with kids and students or helping with the tech team, we have a place for you.
