Forge United Missions Conference- Chisholm Baptist Church
2026-03-15 15:00 - 19:00 UTC
On Sunday, March 15, Range churches will gather for the Forge United Mission Conference—a day designed to ignite vision, celebrate God’s work, and call us forward under the theme “Let’s Go!”
The Missions Conference will go from 3-7 at the Chisholm Baptist Church. Tickets are $10 and can be purchased on their website at chisholmbaptistchurch.org/events

From their website: “Over the past year, we’ve watched the Lord shape a movement of collaboration across the Iron Range, uniting churches with a shared heartbeat for the least reached. New partnerships have taken root, prayer networks have strengthened, and believers have discovered fresh ways their gifts can serve God’s global mission. As we look toward Indonesia and other emerging opportunities, we sense Jesus speaking the same words He spoke to His disciples in John 20:21: “Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.” His peace steadies us; His sending propels us. This conference is more than an event—it’s a milestone in a story God is writing through ordinary people and united churches under the banner of the gospel. With gratitude for what He has done and expectancy for what lies ahead, we move forward together. The call is clear. The moment is here. Let’s go!”
