Come join us in Melbourne, April 11th to 13th, 2008 for the Forge Grassroots Mission Festival!

We at Forge believe passionately in the power of ideas to change attitudes, lives and ultimately, the world. So we're building this space, the festival, to offer knowledge and inspiration from the world's most inspired mission shaped thinkers, and provide a place for a community of curious souls to engage with ideas and each other.

This Festival promises to be one of the most engaging and though-provoking in Australia. A host of speakers from across Australia and abroad will be converging on Melbourne to facilitate discussion and lead us deeper into following Christ.

Some of these speakers include, Andrew "Tall Skinny Kiwi" Jones, Sally Morgenthaler, Steve Timms, Ray Simson among many, many others.

Take the opportunity to read some of the speaker's bios and even some articles they have kindly let us share with you on this site. Better yet, be sure to book to come hear and interact with these leaders and practitioners.

In addition to the many speakers, there will be opportunities to take part in particular and thought provoking workshops and events that will be held throughout Melbourne City in conjunction with other kindred-spirit organizations such as Urban Seed and the Green Collective. Keep checking back here for those details as well as some exciting announcements about worship spaces and artistic events.
