Being With is a course exploring Christian faith and its relevance to our lives now —but it’s not your typical course. It’s a space for anyone who’s curious about faith, exploring Christianity, or maybe just wondering where they stand with it all.
Curious About Christianity? Start Here
You might not call yourself religious. You might not be sure what you believe. You might just have questions that don’t yield easy answers. Being With is a space to explore Christianity at your own pace—with others who are curious, open, and honest. There’s no preaching. No pressure. No need to pretend you’ve got it all figured out. Just a group of people talking about faith, life, doubt, meaning—and what it might look like if God is with us in all of it. You won’t be told what to think. You’ll be invited to listen, reflect and share—if you want to—in a way that’s real and respectful.
