Who is Christianity Explored for?
Christianity Explored is for anyone who wants to investigate Christianity informally with a group of other people. Whether you have previous experience of church, Christians and the Bible, or none at all, this is for you. Everyone is welcome – from the most sympathetic believer to the convinced atheist. We will respect your background, culture and beliefs. Tell us as little or as much about yourself as you feel comfortable.
What goes on?
Christianity Explored normally begins at 7pm for coffee, tea and supper. From around 7:15pm, we then look a short section of Mark’s gospel, watch a short talk and then discuss the talk together until around 9pm. You're welcome to stick around a bit longer afterwards to discuss any further issues or raise any other questions you might have.

Not if you don't want to. You are welcome to come and just sit and listen.
Does it cost anything?
No, the course is completely free to attend.
Do I have to bring anything?
No, all the materials are provided.
Can I pull out if I want to?
Of course you can. If you've got concerns or issues on any point though, we'd love to talk it through with you.
How is Christianity Explored different from other courses?
Unlike other courses, Christianity Explored focuses specifically on Mark's Gospel, with its emphasis on who Jesus was, what his aims were, and what it means to follow him.
Why is Christianity Explored run?
Christians count it a real privilege to explain the truth and relevance of the Christian message. Our church is made up of all sorts of people who’ve explored these questions and found the Bible’s answers to be compelling, exciting, and true.
