SOLIHULL parish

Learning plays a big part in growing in the Christian faith. One strand of the church’s mission, therefore, is to make such learning easily accessible through courses and literature. In Solihull we run four regular courses for those exploring the Christian faith.

 

Just Explore – A 10 week course exploring key aspects of the Christian faith Explore More – The follow up course from Just Explore3D – Bible based course for established Christians Listening Course – To enable you to develop listening skills.

Just Explore   Click here to visit the Just Explore website for more information....

A 10 week course which explores key aspects of the Christian faith in a relaxed and informal setting where you have an opportunity to ask anything. No question is too simple or too challenging. This is an opportunity to listen, learn, discuss and discover.
