"As iron sharpens iron, so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend," Proverbs 27:17
The Forge is basic training for revolutionary Christians. Our purpose is twofold; to help Forge participants develop a more intimate relationship with the Lord; and to build in them a desire to see the headship of Christ released in new ways in his church. Like the New Testament followers of Christ, they will be part of an army of ordinary people sent out to impact their world.

- Increase your knowledge of God based on Biblical truth.
- Learn how personal and corporate worship to Jesus Christ transform our lives while satisfying the heart of God.
