EVENTS

How can you live a life of power, so circumstances and events and troubles don’t master you, but rather you master them? Everybody wants to live that kind of life. The Bible calls that a life of faith. A life of faith leads to a life of power, stability and greatness to face anything and be all He has called us to be. The Hall of Faith in Hebrews 11 is a collection of famous heroes from the Old Testament, giving us examples of what it means to live by faith. In this vital series, we explore Biblical faith and answer some of the searching questions many of us have faced, as we examine personal case studies of men and women and how they developed and wrestled with their own issues of faith.

The Alpha Course is a series of weekly evening sessions exploring the Christian faith, typically run over ten weeks. Each talk looks at a different question around faith and is designed to create conversation. Explore the big issues around faith and unpack the basics of Christianity. The Alpha Film Series DVDs address questions including "Who is Jesus?", "How can we have faith?" and "How does God guide us?". Probably the most important part of any Alpha Course - the opportunity to share thoughts and ideas on the specific evening's topic...to simply enjoy discussion in a small group setting.

We will explore how to use our gifts and talents to serve each other, both in our church and out in the communities where we live.
