Introducing Discover
Discover is a discussion-based course that aims to help people explore the ‘what’ and ‘why’ of mission from a biblical perspective. It’s designed for home group settings or for a special study series – it’s often used during Lent or Advent. This is an ideal resource for churches seeking fresh approaches to teaching and discipleship.
Discover was launched in 2010. Lots of churches and small groups have used the resource since then, and the feedback has been hugely positive. Ten years on, the material is just as relevant and engaging - and the videos still look fantastic!
The Discover programme is made up of seven sessions, with each session focusing on a particular part of the biblical story of mission. The sessions dip into the stories of Adam, Eve, Abraham, Moses and Isaiah before spending time focusing on the life, ministry and death of Jesus. The resource pack comprises specially produced material that is contemporary, innovative and challenging.

Why Discover?
Discover is CMSI’s response to the many churches and individuals throughout Ireland who have expressed a desire for more, and better, mission education.
Discover is not intended as a fundraising enterprise, nor does it ‘champion’ (or even mention) CMSI. It is offered as a gift to the Church in Ireland – a resource for all who want to explore mission issues from a biblical perspective.
