Exploring the way of Christ

A new resource to help your church introduce people to the Jesus way of life.

We live in a society where more and more people know little or nothing about the Christian faith. Many adults did not grow up attending church, or they might come from other faith traditions. What happens when they come to your church, wanting to learn more about being a follower of Jesus? How can you help them learn about the basics of the Christian faith?

One way is through Via, a new curriculum from Mennonite Publishing Network (MPN). Designed for new believers, Via is for people who are trying to decide whether or not to follow Jesus, or for those who are just curious about what’s involved in being a follower of Jesus.

The curriculum consists of a Leader’s Guide with DVD, and Participant book. The DVD, in both English and Spanish, includes audio readings of the Scripture text for each session, along with video elements that help bring the text to life. The DVD also includes bonus clips with additional stories and quotes that stimulate discussion and reflection

Through Via, you and your church can invite people toward one of life’s most important commitments—a commitment to the Jesus way of life.

Cost:
