Boys are searching for direction. Will you help shape it?
Across the UK, many boys are growing up without consistent role models, meaningful guidance or safe spaces to explore who they are becoming. Questions around identity, success, relationships, resilience and purpose are often answered by social media, peer pressure, and online influences rather than trusted adults.
The Forge exists to change that.
The Forge is a mentoring framework designed to help churches create life-changing relationships between Christian men and boys. Through engaging group sessions, meaningful conversations, and biblical exploration, boys are given the opportunity to grow in character, build resilience and discover who they are in Christ.
Whether you're a youth worker, church leader, parent, teacher, businessman, retiree, or simply someone who wants to invest in the next generation, The Forge gives you everything you need to get started.
Be among the first churches to discover The Forge and hear about launch updates, pilot stories, training opportunities, and early access.
