Why ChristLife?

Have you asked the question, "Why ChristLife?"

What is ChristLife?

ChristLife equips Catholics for the essential work of evangelization so that all people might personally encounter Jesus Christ and be transformed into His missionary disciples.

We developed the ChristLife Evangelization Process, which is a relational way to make missionary disciples by helping people discover, follow, and share Jesus Christ. Our ministry partners with parishes, priests, clergy, religious and lay leaders who are seeking to answer the Church’s call for the New Evangelization through a proven method of parish evangelization and outreach.

The ChristLife Series

The ChristLife series is a three-step evangelization process that is changing lives and transforming parishes.

“A powerful program.”

Such a powerful program done in a way that is relatable, down to earth, and not intimidating... I have a better understanding of the mission of the church and my role in it than ever before! Can't wait to share the Good News!

“Simple, yet profound.”

The approach to evangelization presented by Dave Nodar was simple in nature and yet very profound. There is no question in my mind the work of ChristLife is driven by the Holy Spirit.

Fr. Michael Williams, St. Therese Parish, Lansing, MI

“Pleasantly surprised.”

I was pleasantly surprised Discovering Christ allowed me to ask questions about my faith, and I wasn’t made to feel uncomfortable.

“One of the best.”

There are very few Catholic ministries that have gotten serious and practical about reaching the unchurched with the gospel. ChristLife is one of the best. I am really glad you all are doing what you’re doing. Keep up the good work!

Dr. Peter S. Williamson, Professor, Sacred Heart Major Seminary

“Nothing more valuable.”

This course brought me to a personal relationship with the Lord, and a peace and an understanding of my faith that I love and openly talk about. I learned to love Jesus deeply and there is nothing more valuable than that!

Tina G.

“Great opportunity to encounter Jesus.”

ChristLife provides a great opportunity for parishioners and guests to encounter Jesus and to grow in the personal relationship He desires with them. It is also a way that a parish can begin to create the conditions for becoming an evangelizing community.

Most Reverend Michael Byrnes, Auxiliary Bishop, Archdiocese of Detroit
