Learning and Growing

As a Christian family we want to provide many different opportunities for people to explore the Christian Faith and to help them to live it out in today's world.

Home Groups These groups are a place to get to know each other more deeply. They run throughout the year, on weekday evenings, plus one Friday afternoon group. Each group is made up of 6-12 people who meet in homes for friendship, encouragement and support; connecting with the Bible and putting faith into action. Anyone is welcome to join a group and will receive a friendly welcome.

Start! A six-week video course for anyone interested in finding out what Christianity is all about. Nothing is assumed. No question too awkward. No hard sell. A great place...to start!

 

Alpha. We run this nationally acclaimed course about once a year. Always with food! Digging a little bit deeper, but definitely for those still exploring faith or wanting a refresher. It is a very practical course that tackles many of the questions that we all have about life.

 

One-to-one. Not everyone finds being part of a group easy - sometimes simply because of timing. So we have a number of different options to help people follow Christ that can be done on a one-to-one basis, e.g. watching an Alpha video together, working through "Purpose Driven Life" book.

 

Life Issues We have recently run a parenting course and a marriage course (with candlelit dinners for two included!). Future possibilities for short courses include dealing with bereavement, money & debt, and the workplace.
