THE BIG QUESTIONS

Life raises big questions – and it’s not always easy to know where to start.

  • Is there more to life than this?

  • Who is Jesus, really?

  • What happens when we die?

  • Can faith actually make a difference?

Our Explore course is a safe, relaxed space to talk about these kinds of questions and look into the Christian faith together.

It usually runs over 4–5 sessions, either in the evening or daytime, at different points throughout the year. There’s often food, plenty of time for discussion, and it’s completely free.

You don’t need to know anything beforehand, and you won’t be put on the spot. Whatever your background or beliefs, you’ll be given a very warm welcome.

    How am I made to live best?

    Where is God in pain and suffering?

    Does God care about social justice?

    Can we believe without seeing?

    Does God want to spoil our fun?

    What about science & faith?

    What about other religions?

    • What's life all about?

    • Where do I belong?

    • How can I find meaning and purpose?

    • What's all this got to do with Christianity?

ANY QUESTIONS?

Starting something new can feel like a big step – especially when it comes to faith. But you don’t have to have everything figured out.

Whether you come with lots of questions, doubts, or just curiosity, you’ll be very welcome along to any of our courses.
