What is the Life of Faith?
The Christ at the Core Fall Series features co-curricular events throughout the fall semester that highlight key themes of the core curriculum. These multi-disciplinary events allow Wheaton College to discuss the enduring value and significance of using a Christ-centered approach to study the liberal arts. For 2023, the Fall Series will address the question, "What is the life of faith?"
Our events this fall explore how we tell the stories of our faith lives. We consider how we bear witness to God's faithfulness in the past and present and how to live hopeful, faithful, and loving lives into the future.
