The Bible Course is for Christians at any stage on their journey with God who want to know more about the Bible and how it relates to their lives. No prior theological knowledge or qualifications are needed!
Forty-one people graduated in 2026 and here are just some of their comments:
“Before this course, everything was like black and white, but now it’s being coloured in.”
“Gives a great overview of the Bible and the connections and historical content link together in ways I’ve never known before.”
“Absolutely would recommend it. Sitting in the company of like-minded Christians making your way through God’s word.”
