Title
CumChristo of Columbus, Ohio
Description
The mission of Cum Christo is to bring Christians together in an ecumenical environment that renews their relationship with Jesus Christ and motivates them to grow as disciples of Jesus in their churches, their everyday life and other places where God leads them.
Cum Christo emerged from Catholic Cursillo and has adopted many practices from this heritage. Cum Christo brings adults from Catholic, Orthodox and Protestant churches together for a 3-day “workshop in Christian living.” Participants are urged to grow as disciples of Jesus by gathering weekly in small “Group Reunions” to share their relationship with Jesus, their Christian study and Christian action. Prayer support for each other and accountability also are part of these Group Reunions. The entire Cum Christo community is invited to attend regular weekly gatherings to gain encouragement, reconnect, practice Group Reunion, worship, pray and share Christian fellowship. Cum Christo guides participants to live as Jesus’ disciples in their daily life and to be ministry participants and leaders in their church and in the other environments where God leads them.
