What Does FORGE Do?

Each Thursday, students grades 7-12 hang out, play games, eat food, and listen to what God has to say to us through worship and teaching. Throughout the semester we have exciting events like Mario Kart Tournaments, Four Square Competitions, and lots of fun!

Next Gen: Making Young Disciples

October 5 |6:15 – 7:45 p.m. | Village Church of Bartlett

In this Making Young Disciples, we will be exploring how to move from chaos to calm by learning some new strategies for working with children using material developed by Faith Fully Included, with a focus on every child. Throughout the evening, we will walk through the developmental stages to understand what to expect from children at different ages, discuss management skills for establishing calm routines and environments, and wrap up with some time problem solving difficult situations that we might all encounter at one time or another. We hope you will join us! 

Next Gen Training for Parents

Find a curated list of resources compiled for parents of young children and students. On the Training For Parents page, you will find technology resources (including a Family Tech and Cell Phone Agreement), book recommendations, video training from Making Young Disciples classes, and much more. It is our prayer that these resources will equip you to provide ongoing discipleship for the children and students in your home.
