The Course

The 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! 

It will be particularly useful if you have responsibility for teaching the Bible as Sunday School teachers, youth group leaders, small group leaders, evangelists, church planters or lay readers. The course will lay a foundation for further theological training.

COST: Each module costs £30 (payable on arrival at the beginning of each module).

Who will teach the course?

The course will be taught by Dr Millie Bellew (Stormont Parish and Diocesan Lay Reader), Dr Peter Crookes (Holywood Parish, Parish Reader and university lecturer) and Mr David Manning (St Mary’s, Ballybeen, Diocesan Lay Reader and former school principal).
