Forge
Sphere

Forge is a collaboration of churches which primarily connects through relationship.

Mutuality and trust are built through on-to-one connection, ad hoc meetings, cross-pollination, regular group video calls and shared activities.

From this place of trust and relationship, vision and momentum develop and emerge. Youth workers and young people have started to find one-another and dream together, church leaders have drawn support both personally and for their work, and the recognition of different gifts and ministries have helped to improve our effectiveness.

Developing Leaders

—

Shared leadership development has begun for both adults and young people, churches have started to gather together at camps (such as Big Church Day Out), whilst leaders gather regularly at events, training days and retreats.

Doing Mission Together

—

We have a shared desire to play our part in reaching this nation and other nations for Christ. This has given us momentum in shaping our shared vision. Our joint resource as Forge surpasses that which any one church can provide and we are keen to use that resource to enrich the local churches, support local church leaders, and together reach beyond our own borders.   

Strengthening Churches

—

As part of our emphasis on mutuality, senior leaders often move around visiting the Forge churches. This gives us a feel for our different locations and provides opportunities to pray, prophesy, share vision and support each of the churches in the sphere.
