"I came to Discovering Christ as something extra to do as a Lenten observance. What I found was a longing to become closer to Jesus. I then attended Following Christ and my life has changed. I have a deeper relationship and prayer life as a result. I am closer to God and more open to try to do His will."

"Attending the ChristLife program has allowed me to grow in my prayer life. I have started to develop a relationship with Christ. I’m also developing a better understanding of what I believe."

"I think one of the nicest things about attending the ChristLife program is meeting so many nice people. Together we are sharing and growing in our faith. I find myself being more prayerful and becoming closer to my God."

"A program like ChristLife helps to get you through the strife of daily living. You need not think twice. The people are super nice and you’ll enjoy it. Our faith is a treasure to share and we all have crosses to bear. Come and join us. It’s a good experience meeting others from around the county, sharing our faith and growing together."

ChristLife's  2020 Pilgrimage to the Holy Land has been rescheduled to October 18-28, 2021.

After praying, monitoring the situation around COVID-19, and speaking with our travel agency, we have made the difficult decision to cancel ChristLife’s 2020 Pilgrimage to the Holy Land. We did not come to this decision lightly, but ultimately decided to cancel realizing many people may be facing unforeseen health and financial concerns at this time.

As we were preparing to commemorate the 25th anniversary of this ministry, we could think of no better way to celebrate than by going on pilgrimage to the land of our Lord with the ChristLife family. However, when we are in the Holy Land, we want to be able to fully enter into the experience with you—praying together, singing together, journeying together.
