Discover 2021 - Discover Christianity Together

What is Christianity? Who is Jesus? Why should I care?

Two identical sessions, both on Saturday, February 6:

  • 12 - 4 PM PST

  • 5 - 9 PM PST

Across the world, over 2.3 billion people follow Christianity, including at least 500 million people in Africa and Latin America, and at least 350 million people in Asia. Christianity has at its center the person of Jesus Christ. Why do so many people believe in him, and why should we care?

If you’ve ever had questions like these, or want to learn more, join us for Discover 2021, a one-day seminar to talk about the fundamental concepts of Christianity and the identity of Jesus, featuring short presentations, personal stories, and engaging videos. The entire seminar is hosted online and is only 4 hours! Here are some examples of topics that will be discussed during the workshops:

Is God There?

Comparative Religion

Existence of God - Clues for God

How Can I Believe In a God I Cannot See?

Why believe in God when we have science?

How Can I Know God?

The Case for the Resurrection of Jesus

Existence of Soul + Heaven & Hell

Gospel in Memes

Reliability of the Bible (English)

圣经可信吗? (中文)

But What About…?

Isn’t Christianity Just a Byproduct of Western Culture?

难道基督教不是西方文化的附属吗?(中文)

Problem of Pain

基督教的历史影响 (中文)

Vision 2021 - SoCal ISM Winter Retreat For Christians

January 15-17, 2021
1/15 Fri (7-9pm PST, 9-11pm CT, 10-12am EST)
1/16 Sat (9am-5pm PST, 11am-7pm CT, 12pm-8pm EST)
1/17 Sun (2-4pm PST, 4-6pm CT, 5-7pm EST)

We’re having the first-ever Gracepoint-wide International Ministry Retreat for Christians! Normally, for something like this, we would travel up to the mountains ⛰️ for a weekend and enjoy lots of outdoor activities 🧗🏀⚽🏓. Unfortunately, this time around, we won’t be able to travel due to COVID-19 restrictions, so the entire retreat will be virtual 🖥️😢.

But you don’t want to miss out 📢! We’ll hear stories from students and mentors from across all our ministries, and also hear some inspiring talks to learn how to follow Jesus better. We’ll also have opportunities to meet students 🤝 from our other international ministry groups and play some virtual games 🎳 together.

Check out the website for the retreat (https://vision-2021.com/) to get more information about the retreat, including information on the speakers and the workshop sessions.

Register for the retreat here: http://bit.ly/visionretreat2021. You’ll only be able to attend if you register!
