We run the Christianity Explored, Discipleship Explored, and Life Explored courses periodically through the year. Discipleship Explored is scheduled for Fall 2021, through Zoom. This free course runs for 8 sessions of approximately 1.5 hours.
Discipleship Explored helps followers of Jesus turn up the gospel soundtrack to their lives.
It goes beyond simply teaching the right moves – go to church, pray, read the Bible, share the gospel – and focuses on the music which drives discipleship: the love of Christ. The greatest love anyone can ever know.
This eight-session journey through Paul’s letter to the Philippians is ideal for believers at any stage of the Christian life. It features documentary-style films and inspiring real-life stories from around the world, Bible studies and weekly reading plans, and a participant’s Handbook.
Dates for the course: Tuesday, Oct. 12, 19, 26, Nov. 2, 9, 16, 23, 30.
Time: 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

Life Explored
Life Explored is a seven session series featuring a combination of short films – shot around the world – and Bible interaction.
It’s an exposé of the little gods that promise us so much happiness, yet deliver so little. As it explores the Bible story (creation, fall, redemption, new creation), Life Explored shows how our deepest desires for happiness can only be satisfied in one person, Jesus Christ. The best gift God can give us is himself. Everyone is welcome. You don’t need to know anything about the Bible. You won’t be asked to read aloud, pray or sing, and you can ask any question you want, or just listen.
ACNA Matching Grant
Great news! St. Chad’s applied for a matching grant from the Anglican Church in North America’s Matthew 25 Initiative, and we have now received it! We applied for the matching grant so that we can expand our ministry of offering financial and spiritual help to people who are struggling to meet their financial obligations. We do this through offering the Christians Against Poverty (CAP) Money Course (a 3 session course plus follow-up). CAP aims to show God’s love in action by providing sustainable poverty relief through debt counselling, advice and practical help.
The Sharing Place
Each Sunday we have a basket in the Narthex to collect canned goods for The Sharing Place, to assist them in their food bank. There is always a need in our area, and The Sharing Place has filled this Christian ministry for a number of years. Help us to help them!
Castleview Services of Holy Communion
Each Thursday at 3 p.m. (except for the third Thursday of every month) we hold a service of Holy Communion at Castleview-Wychwood Towers on Christie Street just north of Davenport, in the chapel. These services are attended by residents of the home, and also by members of St. Chad’s, who serve as volunteers to help residents come.
St. Chad’s Home Groups
St. Chad’s is committed to provide an opportunity for members and friends to meet during the week for prayer, Bible discussion and fellowship. Each group also has an outreach goal. Currently we have a group meeting each Thursday afternoon at 1 p.m. at Castleview. Their outreach is the Castleview service which is held at 3 p.m. the same day. Another group runs various outreach courses throughout the year. For more information about how to connect with either group, or if you would like to find out about new groups forming, please fill out the contact form on this website.
