FORGE is a three-year ministry school (for anyone aged 16+) that runs on Monday evenings, following UK school term dates. It provides opportunities for life-shaping encounters with God, preparing disciples for Kingdom living and for the work of ministry. We aim to build a community of disciples who grow together, discovering how to serve God more effectively in all areas of life - in the home, the
workplace, society, and the church environment. Each Monday evening involves talking together, attending lessons, asking questions and having group discussions. FORGE currently runs in-person only at the Empower Centre Portsmouth. Mentoring
All students will be asked to find a personal mentor who will walk with them whilst they attend FORGE. Students must be actively involved in their local church and accountable to their local church leadership. FORGE+
FORGE+ is available to FORGE students aged 18+, who are able to commit daytime hours to serve within the setting of Family Church for one year. Each student who chooses FORGE+ will have the opportunity to discuss their skills, strengths and passions, and will be directed toward relevant teams/projects that they will get involved with during the year (full details at www.family.church/forge). Fees
FORGE costs £300 per student for the year (paid £30/month or £100/term). Additional family members receive a £60 discount per year. Applications
