A new venture in Vernon, BC!

The Forge is a new venture led by Rev. Jeremy and Rev. Carmen Kinniburgh in Vernon, BC. Since 2017, the Kinniburgh's have hosted a small gathering in their home. Recently, this group participated in a four-month discernment process and collectively sensed that the Holy Spirit was leading them to explore fresh missional opportunities in the North Okanagan and new ways of being the church. The Forge has now launched as a movement of small communities of Jesus followers who long to help the unchurched and de-churched (re)discover Jesus, embrace His Gospel, and be equipped to live in spiritual renewal—and to help others do the same.

The term “de-churched” may be unfamiliar to some, but it describes those who may still love Jesus but no longer attend church or belong to a faith community. Many are deconstructing or questioning their faith, have been hurt or disillusioned by the church, or are simply searching for something more authentic and life-giving.

As New Ventures leaders, Jeremy and Carmen are excited to see people experience the hope and love of Jesus in new ways—through healing, pastoral care, discipleship, and the empowerment of the Holy Spirit.

This new venture is being launched in partnership with the Pacific District  of The Alliance Canada, and with the blessing of Vernon Alliance Church.

Prayer Requests

You are invited to pray with the leadership team for the following: 1. For wisdom as we establish our rhythms of gathering in weekly small groups and monthly larger gathering. 2. For our core group, as we create and facilitate new small groups. We desire to replicate the ethos and values from our core group into new small community groups. 3. That people who consider themselves "de-churched" or "unchurched" would be receptive to connecting with a different expression of church. 4. For favour and collaboration with local churches and leadership teams as we share about God's calling for The Forge - New Venture.
