First Principles
First Principles discussion groups are designed to allow participants to learn the basic fundamentals of the Christian faith over the course of about a year and a half.
In the early church, before new believers were accepted into the church, they needed to learn the didache ('the teaching'). 'The Didache' was a summary of the basic teaching of the New Testament - the first principles. During the Reformation, this teaching was called catechism, again designed to help Christians master the first principles.
Once we have mastered the first principles, we are able to push them up through all areas of our lives. That is when we are ready to move on to maturity.
The First Principles discussion groups are designed to help you lay the foundation of your faith.
New groups are forming all the time. Sign up to join a group at the information table during the Celebration Service.
