Christian basics courses at Cove
At Cove we run a number of courses to help you explore the Christian faith. Here are details of a couple ...
Alpha
Alpha has become a very popular course in recent years, which millions around the
world have enjoyed. Alpha sessions usually start with a meal, then we examine some
aspect of Christian faith, with a chance to ask questions and discuss what we've
heard. Alpha is an excellent course for those who are seeking to gain or deepen their
knowledge of the Christian faith. Alpha often takes place in someone's home, though
lately a couple of courses have proven so popular that we've had to run them in the
Southwood Infants school hall! Check out the main Alpha website for more about the
course generally.
Just for Starters (J4S)
J4S is a Bible Study course based around some short Bible passages (just one or two
verses). They run for 7 weeks, often on a Saturday morning in the home of one of
our church family, and each session lasts about an hour. It's a chance to look at
some of the basics of the Christian faith, such as the Cross, prayer, the Bible,
how to live as a Christian, the Holy Spirit etc. The course is very informal and
relaxed, and an opportunity to do some good Bible study. It's suitable both for those
who are new to Christianity and for those who have been Christians for a while -
The ‘Y’ Course
It is called The Y Course simply because Y and ‘why’ are so similar, and the course
is about life's big questions. The course recognises that life's biggest questions
have their turning point in God himself. The course last 8 weeks and look at issues
such as:
Is there more to life than this? Can anyone really know what God is like? Are we expected to believe what happened so long ago? If Jesus was so good, why was he executed? Why so much suffering and so many religions? Can one religion be right out of so many? Is there really life after death? Who wants to be stuck with A bunch of boring old rules? The Y Course website has more details.
