Forge is an innovative Mission Training Agency dedicated to the identification, development and nurture of missional leaders, and to the cultivation of missional communities in Australia and beyond. It is unlike any other training process currently offered in this nation, as it focuses on developing both the skills and knowledge of missionaries, church planters and evangelists for pioneering mission primarily within the Australian context.

Forge is unique in that it has drawn together an alliance of innovative church plants and mission ventures, a wide variety of theological colleges, as well as sponsorship from a number of major evangelical denominations and agencies. Furthermore, the network is led by active missional practitioners and as such is able to offer significant experiential training in pioneering contexts while accessing academic accreditation from key training institutions all over Australia (with student allowance for registered students).

Forge has emerged in Australia at a time when it is widely agreed that we find ourselves in a new mission context. In our present cultural climate most experienced evangelists and missionaries recognise that intentional mission responses and church planting is the most effective approach. FORGE is a bold initiative which specifically addresses these challenges by linking experienced mission practitioners with emerging missional leaders. FORGE aims to focus its energy on developing leadership that can understand the missional challenge and proactively develop strategies, approaches and teams, to be able to take the church onto new and uncharted ground.
