for Adults

Many of us, whether we grew up with Christianity or are coming to it as adults, find ourselves wanting more than personal Bible reading and study, and one good sermon on a Sunday to help us on our journey of life.

We want to broaden our understanding by sharing our questions, difficulties and insights with others, and by listening to scholars, whether they be theologians, philosophers, linguists, historians or scientists.

Our Adult Education Ministry Team organises a variety of courses with the needs and interests of participants in min
