This summer, we reviewed the most-used introduction to Christianity courses in use around the Episcopal Church. Along with our research, we gratefully received survey responses about these courses, and conducted follow up interviews about their use and outcomes in churches. On September 29th, 2026 we collated that information into a webinar which is accessible here:

In addition, below, you will find a course comparison matrix and links to resources from the webinar.

If you are considering using one of these courses in your community and would like to talk to others who have done so or to consult with us about best practices, we hope you’ll reach out. They meet people’s holy curiosity and hunger for God in different ways, through relationship, and serve as an invitation to know scripture, tradition, and reason in different measures. Let us know how it goes!
