About the Discovery Study
Discovery leads you through a simple but personally challenging look at the Gospel message. Based on the Kerygma, Discovery explores God’s personal love for you and some of the different aspects of His love: offered, proven and merciful. The CCO Discovery study is a 6-week faith study that leads people through the kerygma in a small group, discussion-based study. It introduces people to God’s love, the person of Jesus, and how to start living as a disciple, through a personal relationship with Jesus.

About Catholic Christian Outreach (CCO)
Catholic Christian Outreach is a movement dedicated to the New Evangelization. The desire is to intentionally invite others into a relationship with Jesus, to grow in holiness and mission, and to equip them to reach others: proclaim, equip, commission. They do this through the faith studies and their Intentional Accompaniment Training.
Testimonials
Marc Cardaronella, Director, Office of Catechesis and Faith Formation in the Diocese of Kansas City
“CCO’s coaching is the “secret sauce” for getting real results. It’s what makes the difference between running a few studies and implementing a true multiplying movement that will last and grow. This is such a different style of ministry, I didn’t even know where to begin. The CCO coaches had the knowledge and expertise to get me started the right way and journeyed with me to stay heading in the right direction.”
