Go

“So what does The Foundry do?” I get that question a fair amount these days. My first answer is: “Go.” It might sound simple, but the first step in everything we do is “go.” Go to meet and connect with pastors and church leaders. Go in order to listen.

Calling all women!

Ever wondered about the Holy Spirit? Who is He? What is His role in our lives?

Come join us as we take a look at the Holy Spirit together!

Join us for our first of 3 Church Leaders Workshop

Join us for our first of 3 Church Leaders Workshops. We will be answering questions like: what does the Bible teach about marriage, singleness, sex and bodies? Can the church lovingly engage LGBTQ+ people and their families and still hold to the historic view of marriage? How do we navigate the biblical and practical dimensions of these questions with both clarity and complexity? These are questions that church leaders at every level need to engage.
.
.
Join us October 14, January 20 and April 20 as we explore these questions and more as a community of church leaders.

We are excited to continue our partnership with the Kingdom Network Michigan Region for our Institute of Ministry Leadership hosted by The Bridge Church in Portage, MI. Our next course is Spiritual Formation and Discipleship. Throughout this course, we will explore a biblical theology of discipleship and spiritual formation that focuses on equipping leaders to develop their own spiritual habits and to disciple others in spiritually healthy rhythms of life and ministry. We'll be gathering from 12-3pm August 24, September 7, 21, & October 5.

Who are we?! Glad you asked! We are Jeff, Sarah and Branson. Together, we had a Spirit-driven dream to help equip churches and church leaders. We love Jesus and the church, and we seek to gather communities of learning within and among churches so that we can all be forged further into the image of Christ.
