Exploring Christianity

If you'd like to know more about what Christianity is all about, you're in the right place.

We believe the message of Christianity is the best news in the world and that it’s relevant to everyone.  It’s simple, it’s beautiful, it’s about God and his love for us, it’s about a great rescue and a man called Jesus.  It’s a message that has changed our lives and binds us together as a church community.  We would love to share this good news with you!

 

Upcoming courses

Each term we run a course for anyone wanting to explore the Christian faith.  These are free and friendly opportunities to ask questions and find out more.  Please check back soon for details of our course in the Summer Term.

In the meantime, please check out the resources below…

Encounters is an informal opportunity to look at the life-changing meetings people had with Jesus.

Each session will include a hot meal, discussion in groups and a talk from one of the Biblical records of an encounter with Jesus.

It’s free, friendly and you would be welcome to join us, whatever you believe.

Come on a course – We regularly run courses for people who’d like to explore Christianity.  They’re informal, friendly and you can ask anything you like.  Oh, and it’s free!  If you’d like us to let you know the dates of the next course, pop your details in the form and we’ll be in touch.

Get in touch – We’d love to arrange to meet up and have a chat in person, whenever suits you.  Drop us a message through the contact page, let us know a bit about yourself and we’ll work something out.

Join us one Sunday – If you want to know what Christianity’s all about, there’s really no better way that to join us for one of our services on a Sunday.  It’s a chance to ‘look in’ and see what really makes us tick.  You don’t need to have been to church before, or to know ‘what to do’.  Just come, be yourself and you’ll be very welcome!  You can find out all about what we do on Sundays here.
