The Cornerstone Forge is where strength is forged for more than the gym. Our mission is to build men who live as Protectors, Providers, Priests, and Prophets—strong in body, anchored in faith, and disciplined in life.
Every program pushes you beyond comfort: strength, conditioning, and skill work rooted in proven training methods, combined with a covenant-driven mindset. We integrate combat sports and fitness to forge resilience, toughness, and confidence that carry far beyond the mat or the weight room.
This isn’t just about lifting weights or learning techniques—it’s about shaping men who lead their families, serve their communities, and glorify God with their lives.
If you’re ready to embrace "Covenant Over Comfort," this is your call to leave behind your old way of living and be forged into the protector, provider, priest, and prophet for your family.
