Which event is right for me?
Of course, you’re welcome to join any event.
But depending on what you’re looking for, one approach might stand out more:
- The Bible Conversation: a great first step for those just starting out with the Bible, these events offer you the chance to focus on four short stories without getting overwhelmed with context or formal teaching. Just turn up and see what you make of the story of the session
- The Bible Course: ideal for anyone who wants to learn how the Bible fits together, how it’s influenced Christian belief and how it’s impacting people’s lives today
- The Alpha Course: designed for those who want to learn the basics of Christianity
How many people can sign up for the events?
If you’re specifically looking for a small group setting, The Bible Conversation’s the one for you. Sign-ups are capped at 15. But if less than five participants are signed up ahead of your first session, your host will reach out to ask if you’re happy to meet as a smaller group or invite you to join another nearby group instead.
The Bible Course events have a larger capacity, but include opportunity for small group discussions during the sessions.
What if I have questions before my first event?
Once you’ve signed up via Eventbrite, your host will make sure you have all the information you need – as well as provide contact details for you to get in touch if you have any queries ahead of the session.
Who leads the events?
Bible Conversations are led by those connected to churches in Teesside.
Once you’ve signed up, your host will be your main point of contact for all things Bible Conversations.
Do I need to know anything about the Bible before I join?
The purpose of Bible Conversations: Teesside is to create a space where you can explore the Bible with fresh eyes – no background knowledge needed. So it’s ideal for anyone who’s completely new to the Bible or getting to grips with it.
There’s no prep or pre-reading required for any of the sessions. Simply turn up and explore the Bible together.
Do I need to bring anything?
Nope. There’s no need to bring anything – we’ve got plenty of copies of the Bible for you to follow along with.
You’re welcome to bring a friend along if you fancy it, though.
Is there pressure to come back or commit to every session?
Nope. The whole point of Bible Conversations: Teesside is that it’s a chance for you to explore a bit of the Bible and see what you make of it without feeling pressured to continue your journey. If you like it, see you at session two.
What happens at the end of the events?
If you’ve enjoyed your time and you want to keep exploring the Bible in community, speak to your hosts and they can keep you in the loop regarding other suitable events and groups.
What about safeguarding?
These events are being run by churches in Teesside.
Each individual church is responsible for safeguarding in line with their existing procedures.
