Christianity 101

What do Christians actually believe, and why does it matter? Whether you're exploring the faith for the first time, recently decided to follow Jesus, or have been around church for years and want to rebuild on solid ground, this course is for you. It offers a clear, honest, well-grounded introduction to the Christian faith, starting from the beginning.

No prior knowledge or church background is assumed. Every lesson is written to be understood on its own terms, and questions are welcome, including the hard ones.

Over the course, you'll explore the essential building blocks of Christian belief: who God is, the person and work of Jesus Christ, and the story the Bible tells from creation to redemption. You'll see how Scripture holds together as one unified story rather than a collection of disconnected episodes.

But Christianity is more than a set of ideas. The course also explores how faith is lived: praying, reading Scripture, growing in community, and following Jesus in everyday life. And it considers who that faith shapes you to become, including your identity, your purpose, and a life of worship.

This course isn't meant to hand you a list of answers to memorize. It's meant to give you a solid foundation: to understand the faith clearly, to see how belief and everyday life connect, and to ask good questions along the way. No matter where you begin, you'll finish with a firm foundation to build on for a lifetime of faith.
