We all have big questions about life – why we’re here, what really matters, and how to live with meaning.

Christianity Explored is a relaxed, welcoming space to explore those questions honestly, in community.

Over seven sessions, you’ll read through Mark’s Gospel – an eyewitness account of the life of Jesus – and consider his question: “Who do you say I am?”

Each week, you’ll watch a short film, open the Bible together, and talk it through in a small group. You don’t need to know anything about the Bible, and you won’t be put on the spot. It’s a space to listen, to ask, and to think at your own pace.

At its heart, Christianity isn’t about rules or religious ideas – it’s about a person. Jesus Christ.

As you explore his life, you’ll discover who he is, why he came, and what that means for us today.

Christianity Explored is simple to run, with everything designed to help you create a welcoming space and open the Bible with confidence.

Each session follows a clear rhythm:

• Welcome your guests – create a relaxed environment with a meal, a drink, or time to chat
• Watch the film – a short, engaging episode that introduces the key themes for that week
• Open Mark’s Gospel – see for yourselves what Jesus says and does
• Discuss together – Questions guide the conversation to consider who Jesus is, and what he's showing us through his words and actions

Watch these four short films where we unpack the heart behind the course - from creating a warm welcome and making space for honest conversations, to keeping Jesus at the centre of everything we do.

Watch them before you run your course and discover how to create an environment where people can explore who Jesus is and what he means for their lives.

An all-new Christianity Explored

Christianity Explored is simple to run, with everything designed to help you create a welcoming space and open the Bible with confidence.

Everything you need to run Christianity Explored is available to access in the Leaders Portal:

All you need to provide is

• A space to meet – in a home, church, or workplace
• A small team to host, welcome, and listen well

Everything is built to keep things clear and accessible – so you can focus on creating a space where people feel at ease, ask real questions, and engage with Jesus for themselves.

Whether your guests are curious, sceptical, or just exploring, Christianity Explored gives you a simple structure to help them take a closer look at the person at the centre of it all.

At the heart of Christianity Explored is a simple invitation: come and meet Jesus in Mark’s Gospel. Who is he? Why did he come? What does it mean to follow him? Christianity Explored has been developed to help people explore these questions through a clear, Gospel-centred and faithful presentation of Scripture.

As we look ahead, our eyes are first and foremost on Jesus, “the author and finisher of our faith” (Hebrews 12:2). Our confidence is in Christ and in the power of his Gospel.

We also believe Africa has a significant part to play in this next chapter. Africa is not simply a recipient of Christian resources. God is raising a generation of African believers, churches and leaders who will take the Gospel to their communities, nations and beyond. We want to see the next generation rooted in Scripture, confident in the Gospel and equipped to live out their identity, mission and call as followers of Jesus.

We desire to see this resource serve the African Church well as we learn from the creativity, leadership and cultures across the continent. That means developing Gospel-centred resources that are faithful to Scripture while being accessible and meaningful in different African contexts.

And we know that ultimately, the growth belongs to God. As Paul says, “I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth” (1 Corinthians 3:6). We plant. We water. We equip. We serve. But God gives the growth.

Our prayer is that Africa will increasingly become not only a recipient but a sender, raising and sending younger leaders, missionaries, ideas, and resources that will strengthen the global Church.

So as we launch the all-new Christianity Explored, we are looking to Jesus, trusting his Word, depending on his grace, and asking God to use this resource to help many people encounter Christ, discover their identity in him, understand his mission, and respond to his call.

Brace up for this is the best news you’ve ever heard.
