What happens?

The Explore Group takes place over five relaxed sessions. We think about what’s missing in our lives, why the Bible can be trusted, what the real problem is, and how Jesus changes everything.

  • Welcome and introductions

    Arrive and be welcomed by our team. We’ll start either with a meal or just pudding. Have a seat and get to know the people sitting near you.

  • Hear a short talk

    Each week of the Explore Group features two or three short talks (6 or 7 minutes each) with pauses to discuss in pairs or threes. These talks are designed to outline the basic message of Christianity in a simple and clear way. They address some big questions, such as: Who is Jesus? Why is his death important? What’s the evidence?

  • Discuss the questions that matter to you

    You’ll be able to bring up questions with a friend or one of the Explore Group team. This is a space where you can openly share your thoughts about faith and life and hear from others too. Speak as much or as little as you like – it’s up to you.

  • Stay on and chat

    We’ll finish at the advertised end time. But we won’t chuck you out if you want to keep chatting. Many people find the conversations have been so interesting that they want to carry them on for longer.

  • Next time

    Most people find they enjoy the group and come to all the sessions. But if you decide that one was enough, there’s no commitment to come back the next week.
