Christlife Sessions

Discovering Christ

Discovering Christ is a six-week experience designed to create a welcoming space for honest conversations about faith and life's purpose. Whether you're new to exploring Christianity or seeking to deepen your relationship with Jesus, this journey offers an opportunity to encounter the love of God the Father, enter into or renew a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, and be empowered by the Holy Spirit to live as God’s children .

What to Expect Each Week:

7:00 PM – Enjoy a communal meal and fellowship.

7:30 PM – Engage with a dynamic talk.

8:15 PM – Participate in meaningful small group discussions.  ( talk as much or as little as you wish) It's all done in a warm friendly, and judgement-free environment.

Discovering Christ is a place where you can ask the questions you've always pondered, discuss the topics at hand, and learn from others' experiences.

In the aftermath of global challenges, many of us have found ourselves contemplating:

Why am I here?

What is life all about?

What truly brings happiness?

You're not alone in seeking answers. Over 1,600 participants have embarked on this journey at the Parish Community of Saint Helen, finding community and clarity along the way.

Start Date: Tuesday, September 23, 2025 to November 4th (No Session on October 14th for the Parish Mission)
