Pilgrim: Church & Kingdom is the eighth and final part of then the 'Grow Stage' of This teaching and discipleship course for new Christians, and for experienced disciples looking to refresh their knowledge of the fundamentals of Christian belief.

In the Grow Stage, you can study individually or as part of a group rediscovering what it means to live as a child of God in his kingdom.

Through six sessions that combine simple prayer, Bible study and contributions from modern writers the course allows time for questions and reflection supported by optional free online audio and video resources.

With the Follow and then the Grow stages of the Pilgrim course, you have the material and leadership resources to help new Christians and even the most casual enquirer to explore what it means to travel through life with Jesus Christ.

The Pilgrim course is based on participation rather than persuasion; enquirers are encouraged to practice the ancient disciplines of biblical reflection and prayer rather than simply hear about them.

Follow and Grow stages both assume little or no knowledge of the Christian faith. The course can be joined at any point, by enquirers at any level of discipleship and by every tradition in the Church of England and other protestant denominations.

The Follow stage serves to introduce enquirers the Christian faith, while Grow aims to develop a deeper level of discipleship.

Contributors to this eighth book in the series include Ann Morisy, a community theologian and lecturer, David Walker, Bishop of Manchester, the Church of England's National Stewardship Officer, John Preston, Archdeacon of Hackney, Rachel Treweek and Robert Atwell, Bishop of Stockport who is also a co-author of the Pilgrim course.
