Bridge Worship is the worship ministry of The Bridge Church, a multi-site church based in the greater Nashville area. It aims to bring together what has been torn apart – churches, families, neighbors, nations, and relationships with God. Bridge Worship has a reach in 100+ countries, many of which suffer from gospel poverty or are considered unreached. The group strives to write songs that cause the church to sing and see the real gospel of Jesus Christ.
Young adults are called to think deeply, love boldly, and stand firmly in faith.
To walk in truth, young adults must be empowered by the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, growing in the knowledge of God. This is not just an intellectual pursuit but a supernatural transformation—where the Spirit illuminates their hearts, deepens their love for Christ, and enables them to discern truth in a world clouded by deception. Through the Gospel, they come to know not only what is truth, but also the One who is Truth.
Young Adults are Called
“Young adults who follow Christ today are a generation marked by power, formed in God’s presence. Forged is about a moment of becoming, being in the room where power is spoken, wisdom is born, and your calling becomes clear. We pray that hearts will burn, minds will awaken, and power will fall—come and join us.”
Dr. Mike Rakes
“Taking a stand for who God called you to be is much easier when you stand on a strong foundation of God’s word. Forged is conference where faith becomes deeply rooted and comes alive. Through dynamic worship and inspiring messages, students are awakened and ready to impact the world because of who they are in Christ.”
Dr. Darla Rakes
“Partnering with Evangel University for the Young Adult conference is a powerful step forward in our mission to help young adults hear from God and step into their calling. We believe this generation isn’t waiting to lead tomorrow—they’re leading now. This gathering is about equipping and empowering them to do just that!”
