Couch to Christian 

A course to help anyone start or grow as a Christian, including a day-by-day journey through the Gospel of Mark.



This autumn our sermon series will be taking us through the book of Mark. Each Sunday we'll be looking at a section of Mark's gospel and between Sundays we're encouraging everyone to read through the whole of the book.  

You’ve probably heard of “Couch to 5k”. It is a way to help people who have lost fitness or never been fit to work up to running 5k. It makes the first steps easy enough for anyone to manage. It breaks down progress into small steps. And it provides a community to encourage you to keep going.
 
“Couch to Christian” is a two month introduction to following Jesus. Using Mark’s gospel, we aim to help people to learn or refresh themselves on who Jesus is, and how we can follow him. It involves a daily Bible reading, some questions to think about, and a prayer prompt. Each Sunday, there is a community gathering (“Church”) which will help dig deeper into one of the passages for the week. And there are some optional extra videos to help people explore questions and issues around the Christian faith.
 
We’re aware not every person who starts Couch to 5k becomes a long term runner. And we know not everyone who starts Couch to Christian will choose to keep following Jesus. But we hope it provides a helpful introduction and refresher that leads to many people following Jesus through life and on to eternity.
