SECOND YEAR PROGRAM

WHAT IS FORGE?

FORGE is both an acronym and a picture for our 2nd year program for those who have already completed Bible School at a Torchbearers Center. The acronym is “For Our Redeemer’s Glory and Exaltation”. Our heart is for FORGE students to come with a deep desire to live for God’s glory, not their own. The image of a blacksmith shaping metal captures this: through heat, pressure, and a guiding hand, something ordinary is made useful.

Yet, like the tool in the blacksmith’s hand, we are never self-sufficient—our usefulness comes from remaining dependent on God. The way the Lord brings growth is often uncomfortable, we desire FORGE students to embrace this process and eagerly anticipate how God will shape and use them for His glory.

FORGE offers a thorough exploration of the Bible. You'll dive deep into its chapters, dissecting the timeless wisdom and guidance it holds.
