14 years ago,

a man by the name of Keith Phillips (Big Daddy) felt the Lord put it on his heart to give back to young men. Him and his wife Nancy decided to open up their home every week and invite a small group of young men over for dinner and a Bible study.

Over 14 years later,

that small Bible study of 5 guys has now grown into one of the largest men's ministries in Middle Tennessee.

Forge is now an intergenerational men’s ministry of 150+ men that gathers weekly around God’s Word and has touched the lives of over 1000 men across the city of Nashville and beyond.
