What is ChristLife? ChristLife is a program that invites people to personally encounter Jesus Christ, be transformed into His missionary disciples, and learn how to share the good news of Jesus’ death and resurrection.
Why are The Church of the Incarnation and Holy Comforter doing ChristLife? For others to encounter the love of God the Father, enter into or renew a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, be empowered by the Holy Spirit to live as God’s children, grow in that relationship, and help others do the same.

The ChristLife Program* is made up of three courses:
- DiscoveringChrist: A seven-week experience where anyone and everyone, from the baptized in the pews to the unbaptized, is invited to hear the Good News and personally encounter Jesus Christ.
- Following Christ: A seven-week journey that explores and encourages Catholic discipleship.
- Sharing Christ: A seven-week mission that trains Catholics to share Jesus Christ with others and invite them to be part of the Church.
Each weekly session includes worship, video teaching, and small group discussion. Each Discovering Christ session begins with a full meal. Each course also includes a 1-day retreat.
