Internships
The primary focus of Forge is action/reflection learning in the form of internships, a yearlong commitment to a specific missional context, participation in the three intensives and regular meeting with an approved Forge coach. We believe that the most significant learning occurs as we test our ideas against the practical realities of our context.
A Forge internship is a year of inspiration and challenge as you grapple with new ideas and seek to implement them in your local setting.
For a detailed overview of what the internship entails please download our current prospectus.
All internships can be done for credit at masters and bachelor levels. Contact us for more details.

Intensives
Over the course of the year Forge will normally hold 3 x 2.5 day intensives, designed to both inspire and inform you as you take the missional adventure. While our preferred mode of learning is through the internship, with its practical aspect, we acknowledge that for some people a year out is not always an option. As such intensives offer a 'taste' of Forge.
The intensives are as follows:
| 1. |
Shaping the Missional Church: Rethinking Mission and Church in a Post-Christian World
|
| |
This intensive is normally held in late February or early March and
focuses on the significant shifts that have taken place in the western
world and explores how the church needs to adapt to meet the challenges
that these changes present. |
| 2. |
Shaping Missional Disciples: the conspiracy of "Little Jesuses" |
| |
This mid year intensive sharpens the focus on what we consider to be
true discipleship and holistic spirituality. It also seeks to equip
missional leaders to go the distance in frontline missional work,
paying attention to their own spiritual formation and development. |
| 3. |
Shaping Missional Leadership: Organising a Revolution | | |
This final intensive, usually held in November has the specific brief
of exploring the shape leadership needs to take in missional
communities, looking particularly at the Ephesians Ch 4 fivefold
gifting matrix and also the different dimensions to Missional DNA. |
All presenters at Forge Intensives must be actually practicing what they preach, so you will not be taught by armchair theorists!
All intensives can be done for credit at masters, bachelor and diploma levels. Contact us for more details.
