Why are we here? Is there a God? What is life all about?

Christianity Explored is a free 5-week course offered by Faith Presbyterian Church on Tuesday nights from 6-7:30PM on October 26, November 2, 9, 16, and 23. Christianity Explored provides time and space to consider these big questions of life and to explore the life of the person at the heart of the Christian faith - Jesus Christ. Everyone is welcome – whether you are an experienced church attender, a convinced atheist, or somewhere in between. Faith member and local attorney Chris Irwin will be leading the study.

β€œImpressions of Christianity and portrayals of the faith today cover a wide range,” says Elise North, Program and Ministry Coordinator at Faith. β€œWith Christianity Explored, folks can voice their doubts and objections in the context of learning and discovery. In doing so, we move past caricatured Christianity and look at what the Bible actually says.”

Participants will study a book of the Bible (the Gospel of Mark) and learn about the basics of Christian belief and what it means to follow Christ today.

Faith understands that people may have objections and fears around Christianity, so they have made it a priority to provide an environment where people do not feel judged, belittled, or pressured.

β€œOur aim is to help you investigate Christianity in a relaxed and accessible way. You don't need to know anything about the Bible. You won't be asked to read aloud, pray, or sing. And, you can ask any questions you want, or just listen,” says Elise.

Dinner and childcare will be provided, but Faith asks that you RSVP through this form if you are able so they can prepare accordingly. For more information, please call 706-769-8315 or contact Elise North at elisen@faithpcachurch.org.
