GOD & CHRISTIANITY

In the Bible, finding God is described as the real journey — whether we realize we’re on it or not

Take the Journey

Course 101 is our multi-week course on the intellectual foundations of Christianity. It's also time for conversation about life, faith, the Bible, and God. We think it's the best way to start your journey in learning about God.

Find a path that fits you

  • Bible Learning Groups

    We meet next to the U of I campus to learn about the Bible. Although our groups are in English, we try to make everything clear and understandable for international students.

    We meet altogether for dinner on Friday for a home-cooked meal, then split into smaller discussion groups of 2–5 people. If you're new to the Bible, it's okay — we have groups that fit everyone's background.

  • Course 101 (in-person)

    A 7-week course on the intellectual foundations of Christianity and a space for conversation about life, faith, the Bible, and God. Each class is about an hour, with 30 minutes to an hour of reading per week.

    Whether you have experience with Christianity or are just beginning to consider it, Course 101 will help you address questions about the meaning of life, our purpose, and the longings of our hearts.

  • Course 101 (virtual)

    When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, our creative team transformed the in-person course into an interactive experience involving videos, music and sound. The online version gives access to students anywhere in the world.

    You can go through Course 101 yourself or be paired with a mentor online via Zoom.



  • Bible Reading

    Pair up 1-on-1 with a partner or join a small group to read one of the gospels at your own pace. The Bible is a rich source of truth, but we know it's not easy — especially with unfamiliar words and concepts. Ask questions about the historical context, or just understand its relevance to your life today
