Forward is designed to help people grow closer to Jesus. It creates space for freedom, growth, and healing by exploring issues that might hold us back.

Forward isn’t about fixing you—it’s about helping you move forward in who God created you to be.

Forward is for anyone who wants to grow in spiritual freedom and maturity—whether you’re new to faith, have followed Jesus for years, or feel stuck in patterns or cycles you want to break.

Forward is primarily designed for adults ages 18 and up.

Forward is designed to meet people wherever they are in their relationship with Jesus. Whether you are new to faith or have followed Christ for many years, the content is accessible and focused on personal growth and freedom.

No. Forward is not a small group. It is a structured discipleship experience designed to help individuals engage personally through teaching, reflection, and biblical application.

Forward is discipleship, not professional counseling or therapy. If deeper or ongoing needs surface, leaders can help point participants toward appropriate pastoral care or outside resources.

Forward Basics is a series of four sessions that help establish a biblical foundation for growth and freedom. The sessions focus on:

1. Hearing God
2. The Sabotage Cycle
3. Identity
4. Appetite for the Eternal

The Forward Experience is a one‑day guided environment designed to help participants apply what they’ve learned in Forward Basics through focused teaching, prayer, and personal reflection. The Forward Experience is designed for those who have completed all four Forward Basics sessions.

Forward includes four Forward Basics sessions, typically offered once per week over four weeks and held in person, followed by a one‑day Forward Experience. Most campuses offer Forward Basics in person, though schedules may vary. Current dates and details can be found on the website.

There is no cost to attend Forward Basics. The Forward Experience may have a cost to help cover materials and event expenses. Any cost will be clearly communicated on the website.

No. Participants are never required to share personal information. Forward creates space for reflection and personal engagement, but individuals are free to participate at a level that feels comfortable.

No. Membership is not required to participate in Forward. However, participants are encouraged to be connected to a local church for ongoing spiritual growth and support.

Registration is not required for Forward Basics—just show up to a Basics session at your campus or the campus that fits your schedule.

Registration for the Forward Experience opens when in‑person Forward Basics begin and is available through the website.

We understand that schedules and life circumstances vary. If your campus’ schedule doesn’t work for you or if you miss a Forward Basics session, there are flexible options. Participants are encouraged to attend a Basics session in person at another campus when available. Missed sessions may also be completed through Forward Basics On‑Demand. Your campus team can help guide next steps if needed.

Children’s ministry is not typically available during Forward Basics. If your campus offers Basics during a worship service, you may take advantage of children’s ministry.
