Welcome to the Birmingham Tres Dias Website

To provide a weekend experience to mature Christians that allows each individual to grow in faith & service to our Lord Jesus Christ.

Tres Dias is an adult weekend which aims to concentrate closely on the person and teaching of Jesus Christ.

While Tres Dias explores the basic Christian beliefs, it is best described as a spiritual encounter with Christ.

Many who have attended the weekend have experienced a deeper and more meaningful relationship with Christ as they sense His love in a dynamic way.

Just as Christ meets you at your point of need, so TRES DIAS is designed for those who desire to be strengthened in their faith and to be brought closer to Christ in their discipleship.

All are welcomed to attend the weekend. There are weekends for men and weekends of women. If you are married, the husband must attend first. Wives usually attend a few weeks later. Each attendee must be sponsored by someone who has previously attended a TRES DIAS or Cursillo-type weekend.

The Spanish words "TRES DIAS" means "Three Days."

TRES DIAS begins on Thursday evening and ends the following Sunday evening.

The TRES DIAS team leading the weekend is composed of former attendees of a TRES DIAS or similar weekend like Cursillo (ker-see-yo) who have volunteered their time for weeks of preparation by working and praying together as a unit.

Presented in Three Days are the basics of the Christian life and meaning of living the Christian ideal and its application on our daily lives.

TRES DIAS is centered around lay and clergy talks. Each talk is discussed by table groups. Interchange that develops in these discussions makes Christ's teachings come alive.

The basic atmosphere of TRES DIAS is one of love, joy, Christian fellowship, singing, laughing and worship. TRES

DIAS makes future Christian experiences more fruitful because of the zestful seasoning it brings to all Christian living.

TRES DIAS can be made only once in a life time, therefore, it is not a substitute for a retreat nor does it have the individual solitude of a retreat.

The Fourth Day

Following TRES DIAS a person is able to expand his/her own spiritual life and become a more active disciple of Christ in the world and in the church.

During this time, perseverance is important. Perseverance is enhanced after the Three Days through contact with the TRES DIAS community.

This contact is available regularly as a means for growth. Also reunions of smaller groups within the local church are encouraged so that the participants my help one another in living the Christian life.
