What We're About

Truth. Community. Boldness.

Truth

Rooted in God's Word

We believe the Bible is the inspired, inerrant Word of God. Every message and study is anchored in Scripture. Not watered down, but spoken in love.

Community

Belonging Together

Teens were not made to walk alone. Forge Teens is a place to be known and challenged alongside others pursuing Christ.

Discipleship

Growing in Christ

We invest in teens for the long haul. Not just decisions, but disciples equipped to follow Christ for a lifetime.

Boldness

Unashamed Faith

We cultivate teens who are confident in what they believe and courageous enough to live it out in daily life, unashamed.
