Cursillo (literally "short course") is an experience in Christian community, where participants have an opportunity to meet clergy and lay people who are seeking to strengthen their faith. Shared prayer, worship, study, music, fellowship, laughter and tears all work together to create a loving atmosphere where one can feel the reality of God's free and unconditional love.

Cursillo is a three-day weekend, held at DaySpring Conference Center in Ellenton, FL. It begins on a Thursday evening and ends on Sunday. During the three days, participants hear a variety of talks given by lay people and clergy. Participants return from the weekend with a renewed commitment to work for Christ, and are encouraged to look for opportunities in their home churches and communities to follow the great commission of Christ.  To learn more about Cursillo, click here to visit their official site.
