Discovering Christ

ChristLife equips Catholics for the essential work of evangelization so that all people might personally encounter Jesus Christ and be transformed into His missionary disciples.
The first program, Discovering Christ, is a seven-week experience where anyone and everyone, from the baptized in the pews to the unbaptized, is invited to hear the Good News and personally encounter Jesus Christ. Discovering Christ helps people enter into or renew a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, experience the love of God the Father, and be empowered by the Holy Spirit to live as God’s children.

- Volunteer to Serve in ways big or small, depending upon God's call, to contribute to this outreach to those on the fringes. Many hands make light work.
We would love to have your joyful and generous hearts and hands to contribute to this vibrant ministry of love to our parish members, fallen-away Catholics, and all those seeking for purpose and truth. We pray you’ll join us in one of the following ways, however God invites you:
- Coordinating, making, or serving food (casserole-style)
- Small group facilitator/helper
- Making people feel welcome
- Audio/Visual setup
- Decorating or setup & breakdown

Created especially for those who are exploring, but thought-provoking and heart-moving for even the most faithful Christians, you are invited to come enjoy some tasty desserts (we're gonna pass on the typical full meal to limit our individual exposure), then listen to a dynamic teaching, and join in a small group discussion about the meaning of life in Jesus Christ. Discovering Christ is designed to deepen your faith and is a chance to come to know Jesus in a very real and personal way. Consider bringing your friends and family members who have been away from the Church and are interested in learning about a true relationship with Jesus Christ.

Discovering Christ at St. Mark is family friendly. After sharing the meal together, children's ministry will be provided for children ages 6-13. Discovering Christ for Kids is an age accessible modification of the adult program.
Volunteers ages 14 and up are needed--a wonderful way to get service hours!
