Exploring Christianity

Exploring Christian Faith?

In many, we are saddened to say, there is an assumption that everyone who attends already has figured out the big questions of life, or, at the very least, they've figured out the whole "Jesus thing." But it has not always been like this. In the early days of the Christian movement, it was assumed that people who were skeptical, people who were asking questions, would be present. Church wasn't just for the convinced; it was for the curious as well.

We want to be that kind of church. We realize that life is filled with difficult questions of a spiritual nature.

• Is God real? How could we know? If so, what is God like?
• If God is real, why is there so much suffering and injustice in the world?
• Who is Jesus? Who did he claim to be? What have others said about him?
• How can any modern person believe in the resurrection of Jesus? Or take the Bible seriously?
• What about all the religions in the world? Can one be more true than the others?

Of course, often we struggle with questions that are more deeply felt, wondering if the Christian faith will meet the needs not only of our heads but of our hearts as well.

At Trinity Church, we sincerely welcome these kinds of questions-and the people who ask them. In fact, we believe that it is contrary to the Christian faith ever to ask people to sweep their questions under the rug. We know that we can't fully answer every question, but we do want to help you as you investigate, reflect, and question.

Feel free to contact us if we can help you in your search. From time to time, Trinity Church offers the Alpha Course, a discussion on the big questions of life from the perspective of Christian faith. Also, please check our resources tab for more ideas.

May God bless your explorations!

The whole round world is not enough to fill
The heart's three corners, but it craveth still:
None but the Trinity, who made it, can
Suffice the vast triangulated heart of man.
- Christopher Harvey (1597-1663)
