Discovering Christ (Course 1 of 3) is the starting point for anyone who is curious about the meaning and purpose of his or her life.  Each week, you will view a thought-provoking video talk focused on exploring the meaning and purpose of your life and have time to discuss the talk in a warm, friendly, and judgement-free small group. Discovering Christ is a prerequisite for the second course in the series, Following Christ.

Session topics include: What is the meaning of life?  Why does Jesus matter? Why do I need a savior?  Why is the resurrection important?  Who is the Holy Spirit, and more!  

Following Christ (Course 2 of 3) offers participants practical teaching, meaningful discussion, and time over dessert & coffee to enhance and deepen their daily experience of living as disciples of Jesus Christ while enjoying fellowship within the community. Following Christ is a prerequisite for the third course in the series, Sharing Christ.  

Session topics include: Personal Prayer, Hearing God in Scripture, The Power of the Sacraments, Forgiving One Another, The Spirit-Empowered Life, The Heart of a Disciple, and more!
