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 course is for you. Everyone is welcome - from the most sympathetic Sunday schooler 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. Over 200 people have taken the course at FBC over the last 4 years.
What goes on?
The course is normally run in several groups of 6-9 people, and after briefly discussing the course material from the week before, there is a DVD clip on the theme for that week. Then the groups discuss any questions that have arisen, and you're welcome to stick around a bit longer after the class is dismissed to discuss any further issues you might have. You can ask any questions you want, at any time during the course.
How long does the course last?
10 weeks, including our day away, when you can explore other areas such as the Bible, the Holy Spirit, prayer and the church.
Do I have to bring anything?
No, all course materials are provided.
Am I going to get preached at?
Each session includes a DVD clip designed to explain an aspect of Christian belief and to stimulate discussion. Hopefully you'll find it challenging and amusing. The group leader will facilitate discussion and try to answer questions.
How is Christianity Explored different from other courses?
The focus on Mark's Gospel, with its emphasis on who Jesus was, what his aims were, and what it means to follow him, makes Christianity Explored quite different.
What will I be watching and can I see a preview?
The course DVD series is presented by Rico Tice, and filmed on location throughout the UK. Running a total of nearly 4 hours. The 14 short movies cover every talk from the course and even feature on-screen Bible text. To watch a preview trailer for the Christianity Explored course please click here.
