Beginnings: An Introduction to the Christian Faith introduces twelve core beliefs and practices of believers in Christ.  We invite inquirers to begin an intentional journey with Jesus.  By the end of this study, participants will decide to explore the Christian life more deeply. The small group leader's guide contains all the materials necessary for the leader to lead the discussion as well as specific guidance for each of the 12 sessions: So, is this all there is? (Introduction) Who is Jesus, and why should I care? (Jesus Christ) Why am I not where I want to be? (Sin and the Cross) What happens when I die? (Death and Resurrection) Can I trust God? (Providence and Suffering) How does God speak to me? (The Bible) If I don't feel lost, why do I need to be found? (Salvation and Conversion) Can I start again? (Forgiveness and Wholeness) How do I speak to God? (Prayer) How can I make a life and not just a living? (The Good Life) Why should I join any group that will have me as a member? (Church Membership) Love feast! (Remembering, Sharing, and Continuing the Journey)
