What does it mean to be human, to love, and to be loved?

Your body, your relationships, your life... all of it means something. Come and explore Theology of the Body: God's design for humanity, revealed in the human body.

Spend one weekend exploring Theology of the Body with Christopher West. Eight sessions that connect God's wisdom to your actual life. No matter where you are in life or faith - questions, doubts, and honest searching welcome.

What You'll Explore

Over the weekend, Christopher West guides us through:

Why did God make humans?
What does it mean to be made in God's image?
Why did God give us a body? What do our bodies reveal about our origin, purpose and destiny?
How to make sense of desire, freedom and commitment
How to live our human calling to love, whether in marriage or in singleness

Each session includes a mix of facilitated video teaching followed by small group discussion.

About the Teaching

Theology of the Body is Pope St. John Paul II's revolutionary teaching about human dignity, love, and the "master plan" imprinted into our very bodies. Dr Christopher West is a world-renowned author and speaker who makes deep theology understandable and relatable. We are excited to be using a BRAND NEW video series to teach the content for this introductory course. The content will then be fleshed out in small group discussions.
