Life in Christ Series
This fall we are launching Life in Christ, an experience designed to help people grow deeper in faith through sustained engagement with Scripture, theology, and the person of Jesus Christ. Rooted in Christ Church’s commitment to cultivating faith, connection, and wellbeing for all, the series will bring leading scholars into conversation with our parish and the wider community.
The 2026–2027 inaugural series will focus on rooting ourselves in the life and teachings of Jesus, exploring themes such as the prayers Jesus prayed, the scriptures that shaped his life, the humanity and divinity of Christ and the implications of Jesus’ life for the modern world. Each gathering will include a lecture or conversation at Christ Church, followed by curated discussion materials and a podcast designed to help small groups and individuals continue engaging with the material in deeper and more personal ways.
Through this series, Christ Church hopes to create accessible, thoughtful, and spiritually rich opportunities for people to encounter Scripture anew, deepen their understanding of Jesus, and cultivate practices that shape everyday Christian life.
