We all have questions. Questions about purpose and meaning, suffering and joy, life and death, questions about God. Beginning January 13, 2019, churches across Chicago will join together for an exciting initiative that aims to help people ask and answer those big questions.
exploreGOD is a unique effort to encourage people in the greater Chicago area to take the time to explore these questions well in an open and authentic way.
Through our sermon series (Sundays January 16-February 24), and Discussion Groups that will meet in conjunction with it, we will explore some of the most common questions people have about God and faith. All people are invited and welcome to participate, regardless of their spiritual background.

FACILITATOR GROUP GUIDE OVERVIEW
DISCUSSION GROUPS
If you want to explore God, to have honest and transparent discussion about the “big questions,” we invite you to join one of our Explore God Discussion Groups. Anyone can participate, regardless of spiritual background. (You do not even need to attend the Sunday services in order to join a group!)
None of us has it all figured out, and these questions are some of the most important we can ask. Everyone is invited and there is no cost to attend, so join us as we explore God together!
