Support Our Mission to Help Others Find and Follow Jesus.

Join us on 1st March 2026 in making a meaningful impact by contributing to The Forge Community Church’s mission. Whether you currently donate or are considering starting, we invite you to prayerfully consider partnering with us. Can you increase your regular donation, start giving, or make a one-time gift to support our mission? Are you ready to be part of all that God’s doing in and through us?

To increase your weekly or monthly giving when you give by card: log in to MyChurchSuite and amend your regular giving. 

Thank you for taking the time to read this and consider playing your part in helping us reach our £40,000 Gift Day target.

It’s incredible to realise that in 2026, The Forge enters its 34th year as a church. What began with a small group of people carrying a simple yet powerful vision — to see people find and follow Jesus — has grown into the vibrant and welcoming community we are today. Through every season, God has been faithful, and He continues to exceed our hopes and expectations.

This past year has been especially encouraging. We’ve celebrated many people coming to faith, several baptisms, and the privilege of supporting hundreds of families across Mid-Suffolk in practical and life-changing ways.

More people than ever are connecting through midweek groups, and new faces are joining us at our Sunday services week by week — many from no church background at all. It’s exciting evidence that our vision of being “a church community that unchurched people love to attend” is becoming a lived reality.

Beyond Sundays, God is powerfully at work through our wider ministries. Tim, our Next Gen Director, continues to invest one day each week mentoring high-school students. Rhianna, our Kids Worker, has launched a new club supporting primary-age children struggling with their mental health — so impactful that the school has invited her to extend her time to care for a child who recently lost her mum.

Our Motion Youth group (Years 9–13) has more than doubled in size, and two youth residentials this year have deepened friendships and faith in remarkable ways.

All of this is worth celebrating, because it is clear that God is moving among us. None of it would be possible without your generosity, your prayers, and your faithful involvement. Last year, during our Giving Month, £41,000 was given above regular giving — enabling so much of what we’ve seen take place.

This year, our Gift Day is Sunday 1st March. We are trusting God for £40,000 to help bridge the gap between our regular income and our budgeted needs, allowing us to continue the momentum of the work God has already begun.

As Gift Day approaches, we invite you to spend some time prayerfully considering how God may be calling you to respond. On the day, there will be a pledge form to record your gift. You might feel led to start giving if you haven’t yet, increase your regular giving, or give a one-off gift to help us reach our total. Whatever you decide, every gift matters, and we are deeply thankful for each step taken in faith.

Thank you for all you do to help people find and follow Jesus.
