Who is it for?
Anyone 18 years or older who is a human being. No, really. Far too many, both Christians and non-Christians, think they are somehow exceptions to the rule that we all experience and live out of the brokenness of sin more deeply than we understand (Genesis 3:7, 21-24; 2 Kings 17:15; Jeremiah 2:5; 17:9; Romans 1:18, 21, 28; Romans 2:14-15; Romans 3:9-18; Ephesians 4:17-24). Even if we are Christians who are positionally saved from the penalty of sin, we all have progress to make in separation from the power of sin. (See episodes 45-47 of Brown Bags & Bibles that focus on "progressive sanctification.") At re:generation, all who are tired, broken, and hurting, Christian or non-Christian, are invited to experience new life in Christ and greater freedom from sin by working through steps of healing revealed in the Biblical doctrines of grace.

Why You Should Come
Because Re:gen is a safe place for anyone to talk openly, honestly, and deeply about...
- one's addictions, brokenness, and sinful patterns,
- abuse, suffering, grief, or pain endured,
- broken relationships, relational tensions, unresolved anger, or
- questions of faith and doubts about Jesus,
... re:gen is a safe place to share with fellow strugglers, build deep and lasting roots in a daily and abiding walk with Christ, and find freedom!
Why y'all so crazy about re:gen?!
Because it has not only changed the lives of hundreds of people, delivered freedom from addictions, brokenness, and sinful patterns, brought healing from abuse, saved marriages, and reinvigorated stagnant spiritual disciplines, but it has initiated a long-term change in the culture of our church, from feeling threatened by sharing real struggles to the safety of "leading with vulnerability" (Team Code #6)!
We believe so much in re:gen that when people ask where to start at First Christian Church, we say, "Start with re:gen first!" It's not only where you learn the tools for a lifetime of applying the gospel of God's grace to your life and how to deeply root your identity in the work of Christ for you, but it's leadership training because we require it for our leaders! It's foundational vocabulary at FCC for the gospel and soul care, not just for yourself but for others! Re:gen is training in disciplemaking! (See our Leadership Pipeline.)
