We regularly run courses in various locations in Lancaster explaining the basic truths of Christianity. The main two courses we run are The World We All Want and Christianity Explored. We don't ask people to do anything embarrassing like praying or singing. You can join in the discussion as much as you like or feel free to come along and just listen.
If you are intererested in either of the courses contact us and we will get in touch with details.
The World We All Want
We all dream of a better world, a world of security, plenty and friendship. Christians believe that God promises just such a new world. The Bible is the story of God making that promise and keeping it. The World We All Want is for people who are interested in finding out more about this message of the Bible.
The course lasts for 5 weeks and takes a sweeping look through the unfolding story of the Bible. Each session involves a short talk and informal discussion around tables.
