Men
Who We Are
FORGE is a dynamic ministry designed for men of all ages and backgrounds, dedicated to shaping individuals into the men God intends them to be. At GBC, we strive to foster an environment where men are encouraged to commit to Jesus Christ, their families, and each other. Our mission is to provide the resources and relationships necessary for men to develop godly character and equip them to make a positive impact in their world for Jesus Christ.
Our Purpose
Our men's ministry aims to engage men in Bible study, prayer, biblical training, community, and accountability. We strive to create a supportive environment that enriches the lives of GBC men and their families. Through hosting events, we promote fellowship, outreach, service, and evangelism.

Forge "Sharpen"
Consider joining us for an exciting opportunity to grow deeper in your faith and calling through our Men's training Class. This comprehensive 2-year program is designed to equip you to discover and fulfill your God ordained calling and responsibilities in Christ.
Starting afresh with a new cohort every two years, this program is a commitment to weekly gatherings that delve into Scripture, theology, and practical shepherding skills. Each session includes dedicated time for interactive learning, group discussion, and weekly assignments to deepen your understanding and application of God's Word.
In the first year, you'll immerse yourself in foundational training in Scripture and theology, laying a solid groundwork for spiritual growth and leadership. The second year will focus on practical shepherding, equipping you to effectively care for and lead others in your family, church and community.
Whether you're a seasoned church leader, a man exploring a new path in ministry, or simply someone eager to grow in your faith journey, this program offers invaluable insight and training. We encourage both individuals and couples (if married)* to join us for an information meeting on July 28th during the 9:30am service. Come and discover how you can embark on a transformative journey of faith and service for God's kingdom.
*For the sake of clear communication the Sharpen program is offered to men only. However, we believe it is critical for every spouse to be fully on board and supportive of their husband being apart of the program.
**Due to this being the first year of the Sharpen training there will be a limited number of applicants accepted into the program.
