BONFIRE & BROTHERHOOD!

We’re firing up the OUTDOOR BONFIRE! Gather around the flames, roast hot dogs, make s’mores, and enjoy a night of great food, laughter, and conversations with friends. It’s a chance to build friendships, strengthen brotherhood, and make unforgettable memories!

THE FORGE TEAM CHALLENGE

Throughout the night, guys will be divided into teams to compete for the title of FORGE CHAMPIONS!

FORGED IN FAITH. BUILT FOR PURPOSE.

The Forge isn’t just about staying up all night or winning competitions. It’s about building young men who are strong in their faith, confident in their identity in Christ, and ready to stand firm in a world that constantly challenges them.

Pastor Ron will bring a powerful message encouraging every young man to recognize his God-given purpose and understand that God is shaping him into the man he was created to become.

Because strong men aren’t born in comfort. They’re forged through faith, character, and purpose.

FOOD & SNACKS

Dinner around the bonfire and breakfast Saturday morning will be provided! The Snack Shack will also be open during designated times for additional purchases.
