If your heart is for the care and spiritual growth of new believers, or the discipleship of those moving forward in the Christian faith, then 'Pilgrim – Turning to Christ' is the easy access teaching course you've been looking for.

A major new investment in teaching and discipleship from the Church of England, this four part course is designed from the first page to help enquirers become new Christians, and new Christians explore what it means to travel through life with Jesus Christ.

At its most basic, the course assumes little or no knowledge of the Christian faith, but is easily adapted for any point on the discipleship journey of and to every 'tradition' in the Church of Christ.

Pilgrim helps you lead others on a journey in two stages: 'Follow' and 'Grow'. 'Follow' introduces the Christian faith for complete beginners, while 'Grow' aims to develop a deeper level of discipleship Christ. Each consists of four short courses and a leaders' guide.

Turning to Christ, the first book in the 'Follow' stage. Its component courses help you explore the questions that new (and experienced) enquirers ask when considering the challenge to follow Jesus.

Each short component course gives you six-sessions, supported by online audio-visual resources and combined with a simple framework of prayer, readings from the Bible and an article by a modern writer and time for questions and reflection.

This is a Christian course for the twenty-first century inviting participation rather persuasion. Pilgrim is primarily about building a relationship with God; laying a foundation for a lifetime of learning, love revealed and grace experienced as a disciple of Jesus Christ.
