What is Explore?
Explore: The Way of Faith is a course designed to welcome people into the Christian faith and the life of the church. It aims to involve the whole church in evangelism, the nurture of new believers and ongoing Christian discipleship. It is rooted in an understanding of evangelism, nurture and discipleship modelled on the example of Jesus as told in the story of the Emmaus Road.
Explore utilises the EMMAUS materials published by "Church House Publishing", for more information visit their website http://www.e-mmaus.org.uk
How does it work?
Explore encourages a journey of faith that is life-changing, enduring and that has an impact on the community of believers, as well as the individual. The Explore course progresses through three stages – contact, nurture and growth.
Who is it for?
Explore begins by encouraging the vision of the local church for evangelism and giving practical advice on how to develop contact with those outside the church. The core material (nurture) covers the basics of the Christian life and is aimed at enquirers, new Christians and those that would like a refresher course. The four growth books that follow offer maturer Christians an opportunity to deepen their understanding of Christian living and discipleship.
