Who?

Cursillo is intended for Presbyterians who already have faith in God and who seek continued growth in that faith and commitment. Anyone who is a member of, or has an affiliation with, a Presbyterian church may participate in a North Texas Presbyterian Cursillo (NTPC). Cursillo is not designed to convert from unbelief to belief. It is intended for those who seek continued growth in their faith and commitment.

What?

Presbyterian Cursillo is a purposefully designed method for renewing the faith of individuals. "Cursillo" (pronounced Kur-see-yo) means a short course in living the Christian faith and is designed to provide a framework for the development of Christians in the local church and in the world. A Cursillo is a three day weekend retreat filled with short talks, music, fellowship, small group discussion and joyful experiences. But there is so much more. Perhaps you have heard of Walk to Emmaus, Tres Dias, or Upper Room weekends sponsored by other denominations. These weekends all provide similar experiences. North Texas Presbyterian Cursillo is simply the Presbyterian version sponsored by the local Presbyterian community. The weekends are sponsored and led by lay men and women, with the participation and spiritual guidance of ordained Presbyterian ministers. The activities provide an opportunity for the participants to discover a new and exciting relationship with Christ and to encourage them to take this newfound relationship back to their home, work and church environments.

Why?

The Cursillo experience is not about worshipping on Sunday mornings. It is about living the Christian life everyday, no matter where you are. It is not just about a weekend — it is intended to last a lifetime. After attending a Cursillo weekend, participants are encouraged to join small groups to renew enthusiasm, affirm one another’s faith journey, share experiences and encourage one another in the Christian life. Reformation and renewal in Christ are indispensable to our participation in the unfolding and expansion of God’s Kingdom. Presbyterian Cursillo is a vital and exciting resource for renewal, and Presbyterian men and women are encouraged to participate no matter where they are in their faith journey.
