Join us online Thursday, September 22 at 7pm for Hoboken Talks when Rev. Anthony Forbes talks live with Rand Hoppe. Participate using the “Chat” feature on YouTube or Facebook. 

Rev. Anthony Forbes is the Shelter Manager at The Hoboken Shelter⁠ and the Property Manager at All Saints Episcopal Church⁠. In May of this year, he was appointed commissioner of the Housing Authority by a unanimous vote of the city council. He founded a 501c3 nonprofit organization called Street Life Ministry to help connect street dwelling homeless and at-risk youth to available resources. He grew up in the city’s projects, was a star running back for the Hoboken High Redwings, and became the executive director of a health insurance company in Manhattan, where he earned 6 figures. In 2004, “searching for something more,” he attended an event at Madison Square Garden hosted by Rev. Creflo Dollar Jr. Inspired, he enrolled in the Christian Nyack Alliance Theological Seminary in 2006, attending the institution’s Manhattan campus. 18 months later, Forbes graduated with a master’s in Divinity. What a story!! Also, he had the privilege of representing first responders and meeting Al Roker at the 2020 Thanksgiving Day parade. 

We can’t wait to hear you tell us all about it, and to see the pictures you’ll bring!
