HOPE EXPLORED

​

Ever wondered if there's more to this life or wondered what all the fuss is about when it comes to christianity?

​

In January, we're running a three-session series to give you the chance to explore Christianity in a place where questions (of all kinds!) are welcome and no topic is off topic when it comes to what you want to know about christians and the hope they have in Jesus.

​

Find out more about the sessions and register today!

When he's not knee deep in wires during Sunday morning set-up, working with our other deacons to keep things running smoothly or catching a break with some cake, he's managing a furniture store in a nearby town.
