What is Discovering Christ?
Have you ever thought about the meaning of life, the purpose of our existence? Or have you ever wondered what the Catholic Christian faith is all about? Maybe asking why Jesus is important for us now and what can possibly point to God's existence? Discovering Christ provides us with thought provoking responses to these and many more questions, exploring the basics of the Catholic Christian faith. Typically run over seven weeks, each session looks at a different question that people have had about the faith and is designed to promote honest and open conversations about life's biggest questions. If you are searching for answers, this can be the place to start. |
Thank you for all that joined us during this first series from ChristLife.
We hope that you will be able to join us for Sharing Christ in the coming Fall! |
MealIf there's something that we share in common, it's our need to eat! Food helps us come together and build relationships. It breaks down barriers between strangers and can be a way to know new people!

TeachingSometimes in order for us to understand something beyond the surface, we need to hear a talk. Such talks can help guide us to wrap our minds around a subject area that we normally wouldn't hear from a 1-on-1 conversation. They serve to engage us and inspire conversation. They will explore the basics about the Catholic Christian faith.

DiscussionWith anything we hear, it's good for us to talk about it. It helps us think about our own experience and compare it to what we have heard and seen. There's no pressure to talk though! Only if you want to share. It's a chance to hear from others and have others hear what you have to say in a friendly, honest, and open setting.

What else can you tell me about Discovering Christ?
It offers a practical introduction to the Catholic Christian faith in a place where guests have an opportunity to explore the meaning of life in a relaxed, friendly setting. The course usually meets once per week for 7 weeks and includes a day retreat. In each session, people enjoy great food, fellowship, and an opportunity to hear about the teachings of Jesus in a fun and friendly atmosphere where no question about life or God is seen as too simple or too hostile. It's also free!
Who is Discovering Christ for?
Discovering Christ is for anyone and everyone! People can come from all backgrounds, religions and viewpoints. They come to investigate questions about the existence of God, the purpose of life, what happens after death, the teachings of Jesus and more. Many guests have never been to church; others may have attended church occasionally but feel they have never really understood the basics of the Catholic Christian faith; others attend church regularly. Everyone is welcome.

What does a typical night look like?
We'll begin each gathering with some food and refreshments. As most of us would have gone through a long day, consider this as a time to relax and enjoy some fellowship and food! The night continues with a presentation, followed by a break for coffee and/or something to snack on. Small group discussions would then take place about the topic discussed. Participation is optional but worthwhile! The evening concludes after that.
