Discovering Theology: Starting Out is for anybody who wants to know more about God, Jesus, the Bible and the church, and who wants to discover what faith in Christ might mean for the way we live our lives in today’s world.

Over three 6-week terms, discover God’s Story, the Church’s Story and how they relate to Your Story, through a flexible online learning programme. Each week you will have a ‘live’ interactive session on Zoom, learning and talking together, with opportunities for questions, personal reflection and putting your learning into practice. This will be supported by our asynchronous online learning platform, where you will find recordings of all ‘live’ sessions along with any slides and handouts used, as well as exciting additional learning resources (optional) and suggestions for taking your reflections further if you wish.
