OUR MISSION
Forge America is an association of practitioners cultivating practitioners who join in the everyday mission of God.
Our Values
PRACTITIONERS FIRST
Before we train or teach or lead in the mission of God; we practice the mission of God.
ALREADY SENT
We are committed to the ideal of sustainable lifestyles for holistic practice.
FOR KING & KINGDOM
We lean into Jesus. We long to see God’s rule and reign revealed in the everyday.
YOU’RE NOT ALONE
We’re driven to unite the diaspora of everyday people compelled by the Kingdom.
Our team of trainers, practitioners, and leaders are passionate about bringing the reign and rule of God into our cities. We welcome you to get to know our team. Every person on this team is an everyday practitioner in their context.
We look forward to meeting you.
