Learning & Growing

As a Christian family we want to provide many different opportunities for people to explore the Christian Faith and help them to live it out in today’s world. For details on any upcoming courses please contact the church offices on 01444 400221.

Alpha

We run this nationally acclaimed course about once a year, always with food! Aimed at people who are exploring faith or simply wanting a refresher the course is very practical, focusing on the differences it will make to our lives, and is well received by attendees.

One-to-One

Not everyone finds being part of a group easy – or other factors can make attending regular meetings challenging. Therefore we have a number of different options to help people follow Christ that can be done on a one-to-one basis. For example watching an Alpha video together, and working through a Christian Basics book.

Life Issues

We have in the past ran a number of courses designed to focus on life issues which we can experience. Past courses include a parenting course and a marriage course (with candlelit dinners for two included!). Future possibilities include dealing with loss and a course on work and money.

Home Groups

Several of these run throughout the year (often on evenings midweek – though not exclusively). Each group involves a small number of people (6-12) meeting in homes for friendship, encouragement and support – connecting with the Bible and putting faith into action. For a list of groups and scheduled meeting times please see our dedicated home group page.
