The Alpha course is an opportunity for anyone to explore the Christian faith. It's relaxed, non-threatening, friendly and fun. Alpha is a place where no question is too simple or too hostile - you are free to ask anything! We will be running a mini Alpha Course on Wednesday evenings beginning on 13th January 2010 for 4-5 weeks. Over these sessions the team will cover key topics like:
- Who is Jesus and why did he die?
- How can I be sure of my faith?
- Why should I trust the bible?
- Why and how should I pray?
- How does God guide us?
This 13 week discipleship course aims to help Christians take hold of the truth of who they are in Christ, resolve personal and spiritual conflicts and become a fruitful follower of Christ, fulfilling their full spiritual potential.
The course involves listening to a DVD talk and time for group discussion of the issues raised.
Marriage Course
The Marriage Course is a series of seven sessions designed to help any married couple strengthen their relationship and considers key topics like effective communication and resolving conflict. Each session involves listening to a talk on a DVD and time for discussing the topic as a couple. There is no group work involved at any stage of the course. The course is relevant to any married people who want to work together at and invest in their relationship, whether you've been married for less than two years or more than thirty. If you have a strong marriage this course will help you make it even better and will reinforce your good habits. If on the other hand your marriage is in difficulty, the course will help provide you with very practical tools to help you work through the issues. Some couples who are separated have used the course as a way of trying to get back together. While the course is based on Christian principles couples are welcome with or without a church background. Many couples who are not churchgoers have enjoyed and benefited from doing the course.
Parenting Course
Parenting is a touch challenge for all mums and dads and every parent needs help and encouragement to keep going. The Family Time Course aims to get parents together to discuss the challenges they face, develop skills which will strengthen their parenting and provide an opportunity to think about the bigger picture of parenting - like the qualities which parents want to nurture in their children.
The course runs for 10 sessions and includes time for listening to a DVD talk and time for group discussion.
