Our conviction at ChristChurch is that nothing is more worthwhile than investing some time in exploring and examining the person of Jesus Christ. He is at the centre of the Bible, and everything in the Old Testament points forward to his coming into the world. For 2000 years, people around the world have had their lives turned upside down by coming to know him personally.
In a society full of time saving devices, where we ironically all seem busier than ever, the opportunity to take time out to think about life and the bigger questions seems rare. Well, many have found the investment of time in an Alpha course or Christianity Explored Course, to have been a very worthwhile choice.
We, at ChristChurch, would love to give you some tools to examine Christianity for yourself. You can arrange to investigate Christianity individually, with Chris or someone else from the church, or join a small group and explore together.

Will we meet God? Will God really accept me? Is Jesus worth my time?
It's easy to feel uncertain about things at the moment, and these questions might leave you with more doubt than assurance. Or maybe there are other questions about faith, God, heaven & hell, Christianity, the Bible or Jesus Christ.
Christianity Explored is an informal and relaxed course, lasting 7 weeks, for people who would like to investigate Christianity. Focusing on one account of Jesus’ life, Mark’s gospel, it explores who Jesus is, why he is so important, why he died and what it means to follow him. Each session includes a short DVD, some group discussion, and a chance to ask any questions you like. You won't be asked to pray, sing or read aloud, and if you prefer, you can just join in and listen.
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, and everyone in between!
Many have found this course to be an excellent tool in helping them to think about the big questions of life, and most
have come to realise that cold ritualistic religion is a million miles from the person of Jesus and the difference he can
make in our lives.

Discipleship Explored is an informal 8-week course for anyone who wants to know what it means to be a disciple (student/learner) of Jesus Christ.
A common question asked at the end of Christianity Explored is, 'What does it look like to live as a Christian?'
Discipleship Explored helps to answer that question.
The course works through the book of Philippians, and touches on important topics such as: Confident in Christ,
Living in Christ, Standing Together in Christ, Transformed by Christ, Righteous in Christ, Knowing Christ, Rejoicing in Christ and Content in Christ.
If you have ever been on a Christianity Explored course, the format of Discipleship Explored should feel very familiar.
Each session includes group discussion, a study in Philippians and a DVD on the theme for that week.
Discipleship Explored is particularly good for those who have recently decided to follow Jesus – but Christians at all
stages will be refreshed and challenged to grow and mature as followers of Christ.
