In 2002 Orchard Group contacted Community Christian Church to see if we had the right leader to plant a church in Manhattan in New York City. At the time we didn’t, but were very interested in partnering with Orchard Group to do whatever we could to identify, develop and equip the best leader for this new church plant. God had also been tugging at Jon Ferguson, NewThing Executive Director, to plant a church in New York. After a long search, we finally found someone whose life long dream was to plant a church in New York City - Brian Moll.

Two million residents and millions of commuters make Manhattan the most densely populated place on earth at midday. Over 150 different languages are spoken by over 200 different ethnic groups. 92% of people do not have a meaningful relationship with Jesus Christ. (That’s 1.82 million people.) Forefront’s vision is to be a community of Christ-followers committed to live by faith, be known by love, and to be a voice of hope for the city of New York.
