Christianity Explored is a seven-week class, which seeks to answer many of the most common questions about Jesus' identity and his purpose in coming. It incorporates a thought-provoking lecture series by Rico Tice on DVD, and a time to explore these questions from the book of Mark that cut right to the heart of Christianity. It’s especially designed for people with questions and a desire to know more about the person at the heart of our faith! There is a charge of $10 to cover the cost of materials.
