As followers and lovers of Jesus Christ, who we are and what we do is shaped by the person of Jesus both individually and corporately; we hope to inspire and lead others to fall more in love with Him.

We are not a church planting organisation. We seek to train people to live as missionaries in the places they are sent. As the gospel is planted, church communities will often birth as a natural byproduct. We champion, support, encourage, and give voice to the ordinary people on the ground joining God in mission in their context. Although we allow for necessary critique of the Church, we desire to serve the Church and not attack it. 

We aim to model training in a different manner than the prevailing Western Church without detaching ourselves from the local church.

Those who lead and train through Forge should be practitioners who can communicate and inspire others to be innovative in their missional incarnational contexts. Because we embrace an action-reflection training model, we believe that learning should be a whole life encounter, if we teach theory it is to aid in important paradigm shifts and is relevant to a person’s experiences on mission. We value all forms of leadership and work to equip and release all functions of APEST (Ephesians 4: Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Shepherd, and Teacher) for the maturing of the church.

We seek to give a voice to those in the margins of society

We want to be an organisation that is always learning, while keeping the important things always before us. We hold high the power of a story and continually tell an alternative story. We will work to build partnerships and networks with local churches, seminaries, denominations, non-profit organisations, & para-church ministries. Networks are the fabric of movement. We seek to help every person be released to engage in incarnational mission and serve established churches by equipping individuals to live incarnationally.
