The Forge

"For he will be like a refiner’s fire, like a launderer’s soap. He will act like a refiner and purifier of silver and will cleanse the Levites and refine them like gold and silver. Then they will offer the Lord a proper offering." ~ Malachi 3:2–3 (NET)

Purpose

The Forge exists to provide a structured, Christ-centered pathway for men emerging from addiction or incarceration to rebuild their lives. Just as raw metal is shaped and refined in a blacksmith’s forge, participants are molded through discipline, accountability, and community into renewed lives marked by faith, integrity, and service.

Mission

To shape and equip individuals emerging from addiction and incarceration into renewed lives marked by faith, integrity, and contribution to their community.

Vision

A community where broken lives are reforged into vessels of hope, restored families, and productive citizens.
