This study was designed as a collaborative work with eight Churches of Christ ministers over a period of 6 months. Each minister offered a different perspective on the theology and practice of Churches of Christ. Their work aimed to assist participants to explore what we could say together about God, and how God calls us to participate in mission.
Each study, including the introduction, has a QR code at the top of the page that links to a video of Mark Riessen introducing the themes for the study. It is designed to offer group leaders all the information they need to facilitate a conversation with members of their congregation.
The study is for anyone who serves in a leadership capacity with a Churches of Christ congregation. It can also be used for general small group ministries where a group is curious to learn more about Churches of Christ and how these principles call us to participate in God’s mission.
