The Who Is Jesus? Course
People are welcomed in a relaxed, respectful and friendly setting to participate in set of opportunities to share some food, listen to talks and explore ideas and issues that can be life changing.
The course runs over 12 weekly sessions, with a day away for more extended reflection in the middle. It explores the basic claims of Christianity about Jesus, and what it means to become a Christian, in the wider context of our modern lives and the issues we face.
Each session begins with hospitality and food, and is followed by a talk and then sharing and discussion in small groups, all within a welcoming and relaxed setting.
The course is geared towards those without faith, enabling them to gain information, explore claims, and also begin a life of faith if they wish to do so.
It can also help people renew or grow in existing faith, and provides material, insights & experience to help people share their faith with others.
Respect for all guests, including their beliefs, values, feelings, outlooks and freedom are a core value of the organisers.
