40 years of forging kingdom laborers.

For four decades, one mission has carried Forge (formerly Kingdom Building Ministries) across the globe and across the U.S. — call every person up-close to Jesus, and equip them to advance His Kingdom every day, everywhere.

Presidency announcement

After a several-year process of prayerful discernment, the Forge Board has divided the Forge CEO/President role into two positions: Dwight Robertson continues as Forge CEO and Founder, and Charlie Marq – raised up inside this very mission – has been appointed Forge President.

Watch Dwight and Charlie share it, face to face.
