What Does FORGE Do?

Each Thursday, we hang out, play games, eat food, and listen to what God has to say to us through worship and teaching. Throughout the semester we have exciting events like Mario Kart Tournaments, Four Square Competitions, and lots of fun!

Forge Summer Missions Recap Night

August 29 | 7:00 – 9:00 p.m. | Village Church of Bartlett

The whole church is invited to a special evening at Forge. Come hear firsthand accounts from students of how the Lord worked in and through them over the course of their mission trips this summer. We want to rally around these students and celebrate God’s work through their trips to Crandon, local experiences on Edge in Bartlett, international endeavors in Mexico, and their week of ministry at VBS. No registration is required and all ages are invited to attend.

Next Gen Foam Party 2024

Next Gen Foam Party

September 8 | 6:00  p.m. | Antioho Home

Next Generation students and families, come on over to the Summer Picnic and celebrate our fall kick-off with a foam party! Next Gen (Village Kids, The 5/6, and Forge) and their leaders are invited to enjoy some extreme bubble fun. This foam solution is hypo-allergenic, dye-free, non-toxic, biodegradable, and safe for kids, pets and the environment. Opaque, lightweight shorts and shirts are advisable. Swimsuits, goggles, and towels are recommended for kids who will play in it for longer periods. The foam may leave you damp after a few minutes and you can easily dry off in the sun. The longer you stay in the foam, the more you get wet.

Next Gen Training for Parents

Find a curated list of resources compiled for parents of young children and students. On the Training For Parents page, you will find technology resources (including a Family Tech and Cell Phone Agreement), book recommendations, video training from Making Young Disciples classes, and much more. It is our prayer that these resources will equip you to provide ongoing discipleship for the children and students in your home.
