One of the reasons people sometimes avoid looking into Christianity is that there are so many Christianities on offer, each with their spin on things, their own rituals and practices, their own religious package.

But just imagine if you were able to get beyond this; to put to one side the hair-splitting and disagreements; to get beyond all the trappings of 'religion'. What would you find?

If you were to go back to Jesus himself, to the biographies about him contained in the New Testament, what would we discover Christianity to be about?

In 5 short sessions you get to:

• sort out fact from fiction in the Christian faith
• ask any question or just listen to others
• discover the importance of Jesus in the modern world

At Christ Church, Simply Christianity courses run regularly. If you are curious about Christianity, this is a great course where you can ask questions or just sit and listen.

For more information on the Simply Christianity course or when the next course starts, please contact the church office on 98172631.

Built around the well-known ‘Just for Starters’ Bible studies, Back to Basics adds stories and illustrations both from Christian history and our day, songs old and new, discussion ideas and skills training material.

The overall result is an engaging and effective course, which is becoming very popular for reinvigorating Christians in their understanding of God, and their love and service of others.

The seven-part Back to Basics course looks at the basic beliefs and characteristics of Christian life.

The course is best done in a small group situation where active discussion can take place to encourage spiritual growth together
