Forge Student Ministries
The world is determined to disciple our children, and far be it from us that the world might work harder at discipling them than we do. We have a passion & a calling for this generation. We desire to see their lives supernaturally changed for the Kingdom of God. Our hearts are wired for life-on-life discipleship that looks like corporate worship, individual investment, and outreach events. We often have events that are focused on bringing in those far from God, as well as events designed to disciple those who want to grow closer. We want to help sow, water, and cultivate relationships with the Lord that are built on the solid foundation of Jesus Christ and Him alone. We want to come alongside of parents in the discipleship process of their homes, and be an encouragement, resource, and avenue for consistent exposure to the Gospel, deep Godly community, and continued life transformation.
We don't want "Forge" to just be the name of our student ministry. We want to see students who are Forged into who God has called them to be. That, in a culture that focuses on looking inside one's self to find identity, meaning, and purpose, we would create a culture that looks up to the Lord, in to the Scriptures, around to the body of Christ, in order to pursue identity, meaning, and purpose that holds fast to the firm foundation of Jesus Christ. This is how we see that happening:
FORGE a Love for Jesus Christ
FORGE a Reverence of & Submission to the Father
FORGE a Sensitivity to the Holy Spirit
FORGE a Hunger for His Word
FORGE a Heart of Worship
FORGE a Desire for Holiness
FORGE a Community of Deepened Relationships
FORGE a Fervency for Others to Know Jesus
FORGE Disciples who make Disciples
FORGE the Development of your Calling
FORGE a Firm Foundation of Faith
Logistics:
Forge Student Ministries is for 6th-12th grade students & meets every Tuesday evening from 6:30pm-8:30pm at the church (656 Oxford Road).
(New 6th graders can begin attending at the beginning of each school year --- Graduates can attend through the summer after their senior year)
Each week, we have student-led worship, followed by a message in the Word.
For Summer 2023, we have a summer-long Color Wars Games, where students can earn points for attending, dressing in theme, bringing friends, memorizing verses, and more. On top of competing in weekly "Got-It" games against the other teams, we also have special fun events scheduled throughout the summer to keep students engaged, connected, and give them continual opportunities to encounter Jesus.
