The Worship Community is proud to recommend The Forge Conference, hosted by TWC member, Joel Klampert.
Every once in a while a Conference comes along that attempts to incorporate all of the “streams” of worship into one. It is very rare to see prophetic worship, Charismatic expression, Technology/media, and the arts taught alongside liturgical worship, communion, silence and space, and lessons from the early church.
I want to introduce you to The Forge Conference, which in itʼs second year will be trying to bridge the great divide between Ancient/Future, Conservative/Charismatic, Hymns/ Top 40 and everything in-between.
Our mission is simple:
- Facilitate Discussion
- Foster Creativity
- Forge Relationships
- Fully Equip the Small Church
A year and a half ago God brought together a vision of 5 friends to do a Worship Conference that was out of the box and met the needs of the small church. The Forge Conference (Forgecon) was birthed out of a need for practical training, inspirational teaching, and times of relationship in the small church community.
I am excited to invite your team out to this event because I believe it will not only help your churches, but also be an atmosphere to encourage, renew and revive your music ministry teams.
Forgecon11 is poised to be just as amazing as last years conference where we had Brenton Brown and Paul Baloche. Last years theme was brokenness. This year we felt like God was telling us to move towards the idea of blending ancient and modern worship.
Take a look below to see what it will entail.
We hope you will take advantage of the amazingly low price and send your worship leader, pastor/rector, youth band, worship team, tech team, singers etc.
