Welcome to The Forge (church)

It began with a whisper and then a nudge to look at ourselves and the world around us differently.  From that a passion grew to express our relationship with Jesus Christ within our group of Jesus followers, in our local community and beyond.  This is part of our story.

Our name is different, isn’t it?  The style of the logo even more so.  It was in answer to the whisper.  It meant stepping out on a limb, but we knew that we were supposed to do it.  We want to engage the whole community and it has allowed countless opportunities of dialogue.

The name has many meanings, many of which have given us direction and purpose.  To move forward; merge together; a special fireplace or hearth in which metal is heated before shaping; to fashion and mold with concentrated effort and care.  Historically, next to food and shelter, a forge was one of the most important elements in any attempt to plant a permanent settlement. Forges have traditionally been gathering places where visiting and other social activities happened.   It was a warm meeting place for villagers and travelers alike.  We want to be that place.

So, welcome and thanks for joining us here.  If you’re in the neighbourhood, drop in for a visit.  Our Sunday gathering is at 10:00 am.  Go to the  Contact Us page for our address and directions.
