Our Mission
Guiding People to Forge a Lifelong Reliance on God.
In this fast-paced area, we give our time, talents, and resources to build authentic connections and equip people for what's next. Together, we step up in worship, armor up with God's Word, and forge ahead...wherever life takes us.
Our Vision
To See All of Northern Virginia Become FORGED.
"Forged" isn’t just a cool word—it’s our vision. At The Foundry, we believe every person in Northern Virginia is meant to be FORGED—shaped by God into something stronger. Each letter represents a measure we use to grow in faith and purpose. Below you can see how we break it down and how you can forge a life-long reliance on God.
Focused on God’s Kingdom
A million things are vying for our attention, but what really matters? The things that matter are the things that will last: the things in the Kingdom of God. If we focus on those things we are sure to be a part of something that will last forever.
Ask yourself: How will I advance the mission today?
Owning My Spiritual Growth
A relationship with God is something that no one else can have for you. No one else can pray for you, read for you, forge for you. So we believe in the importance of owning our spiritual growth.
Ask yourself: How will I live today so I can thrive tomorrow?
Responsible for Inviting Others
We believe that every member of The Foundry should be close to God and close to someone far from God. Because of what Jesus has done for us, the most loving and powerful thing we can do for others is to go to them and invite them to come and see who Jesus is and what He has done for us.
Ask yourself: Who will God send my way today?
Growing As a Leader Worth Following
Every person, no matter their age, job, gender, or abilities, has a sphere of influence. So believe in living as a person worthy of trust and leadership so that others have the best opportunity to encounter Jesus. We say, as Paul did, follow me as I follow Christ.
Ask yourself: How will I live a legacy today?
Embracing Christian Community
The Foundry cultivates a culture of “others first.” To do this, we step up to the table of life with others in an honest and deep community. We know that community can be messy, but community is always worth it.
Ask Yourself: Who will I do life with today?
Developing a Servant’s Heart
If our mission is to guide others, then we must be willing to act as a guide. This means that we are always looking for ways to serve others. If we can make it just a little easier to know Jesus and rely on Him
Ask yourself: How will I seek to serve today?
Our Beliefs
These are essential truths. These things don't change at The Foundry. This is what we believe, and it's at the core of our mission and values.
About God
We believe that there is one God eternally existing in three persons Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. He is the Creator of all things.
Genesis 1:1; John 1:1; Matthew 3:16-17; 2 Corinthians 13:14
About Jesus
We believe that Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of God, who died for our sins and was resurrected from the dead. We believe in Jesus' virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His suffering and literal death, His bodily resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of the Father, His coming return to earth, and He will reign forever as King of kings and Lord of lords.
Isaiah 53; John 3:16; I Corinthians 15:1-8; I Thessalonians 4:13-18
About The Holy Spirit
We believe the Holy Spirit is an active and operative part of the triune God, who convicts the world in regard to sin, righteousness, and judgment, and who indwells in every Christian, gifting them for service in the church and enabling them to live a godly life.
John 14:16-20, 26-27; 16:7-16; Romans 12:4-8; I Corinthians 12:1- 11, Acts 2:38; Ephesians 1:13-14
About Humankind
We believe that man, created by God, willfully sinned and as a result, is lost and without hope apart from Jesus Christ.
About Salvation
We believe that salvation is by grace, through faith, in baptism, for good works.
Ephesians 2:8-10, Colossians 2:12
We believe that the Biblical pattern to receive God's free gift of salvation is to hear the gospel. Believe in Jesus as God's Son and Savior of the world, repent of personal sin, confess Christ publicly, be baptized, and remain faithful to the end.
Romans 10:9, Acts 2:36-38, Mark 16:16, Mark 13:13, Ephesians 2:8-9, Colossians 2:6, John 3:16
We believe that death seals the eternal destiny of each person. When Jesus returns He will pronounce the eternal fate of each individual, both living and dead, either to eternal life in heaven or eternal separation from God in hell.
John 5:28-29; 2 Corinthians 4:14, Matthew 10:28, 1 Corinthians 15:51-53
About The Church
We believe that the Church is the body and bride of Jesus on earth, founded on the Day of Pentecost, consisting of all Christians everywhere.
About The Bible
We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God and the final authority for all matters of faith and life.
