Do you want to offer a course introducing Christian faith and practice to members of your congregation? Have you been using one course or program for a while, but want to explore what else is out there to welcome those new to faith into deeper discipleship? Have you been intending to offer such a course for years, but the research and startup seems overwhelming?

Let us break it down for you! In this webinar, we’ll review Being With, Practicing the Way, Alpha, Transforming Questions, and Pilgrim. Cedar staff will be joined by Episcopal leaders who have facilitated these courses in their own congregations. There will be an opportunity for discussion and Q&A.
