What is it?

A space for honest conversation

Whether you're spiritually curious, skeptical but open, new to faith conversations, returning after time away, or simply searching for meaning and purpose — you'll find others exploring similar questions in a relaxed and welcoming environment.

The course runs over 5 weeks. Each week begins with a meal, giving you a chance to relax, meet others, and build connections. After the meal, there's a short talk followed by small group discussion where you can share your thoughts or simply listen.

We encourage you to join us for all 5 weeks, but if you can’t make every session, plan to attend at least 2–3. Each session includes dinner, conversation, and space to explore your questions. The cost is $10 per session.

How it works

A typical evening

Share a Meal

Arrive, relax, and enjoy a friendly dinner. Meet others and build connections over good food and genuine hospitality.

7:30PM
Hear a Short Talk

A brief, engaging talk introduces a key question about life — designed to spark curiosity, not lecture.

8:00PM
Discuss Together

Share your thoughts in a small group or simply listen. No pressure, no judgment — just honest conversation.

Questions we explore

The questions you're already asking

  • What do I do when life doesn't turn out as planned?
  • Why do I feel anxious, restless, or unfulfilled?
  • If God exists, why is there suffering?
  • Why do I still feel empty when life is going well?
  • How do I handle success, failure, and disappointment?
  • Can faith be reasonable in today's world?
  • Who is Jesus, and why does He matter?

What to expect

Come as you are

A friendly meal

Every evening begins with genuine hospitality — good food and warm conversation around the table.

Engaging talks

Short, thought-provoking talks focused on real-life questions — designed to inspire, not lecture.

Honest conversations

Table discussions where every perspective is valued. Share your thoughts or simply listen.

A welcoming environment

A multiethnic, multiracial community where people from all backgrounds connect authentically.

Meaningful relationships

Many come for the content but stay because of the friendships they build along the way.

No pressure, ever

You set the pace. Ask questions, disagree respectfully, share your perspective, or simply listen.

Welcoming community space

Why try it?

Because the big questions deserve real conversation

Many of us are already asking life's biggest questions — we just don't always have a place to explore them honestly. The Life Course creates space for meaningful conversations about faith, purpose, relationships, and life.

This takes place within one of America's most diverse communities — people from many cultures, backgrounds, and life experiences gathering around tables, sharing meals, and engaging in real conversations together.

Many participants come for the content but return because of the relationships they build along the way.
