Discovering Theology: Starting Out

Theology just means thinking about God! So if you have ever asked yourself what God is like, or why bad things happen to good people, or whether Jesus knew humans would one day walk on the moon, then you have been doing theology! Studying theology is just discovering what other people have thought about God, and figuring out for ourselves how that plays out in our life.

At Sarum College we are offering you the opportunity to do some more thinking about God in a community of curious people, guided by our expert tutors. 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.

Discovering Theology will inspire you to keep on thinking about God, asking questions and learning more about Christian faith. It is also an ideal starting point if you are discerning vocation and the perfect foundation for going on to do our Exploring Theology: Going Further programme.

Date and Time: Thursday evenings on Zoom, 7:30-9pm
