“Teach me knowledge and good judgment, for I trust your commands.”

Psalm 119:66

Looking closely at a topic in groups allows us to express ourselves and share ideas. It helps us establish relationships with others and to make the best of the circumstances we’re in. That’s why we run courses at TBC and in partnership with other local agencies.

Discussion, and some input from a facilitator help us find our way through seasons of growth and change. Spaces can be limited, so we encourage registration before hand – contact the church office.

All our courses are free of charge unless otherwise specified.

Regular courses

Faithlook

A free course that anyone can access in the format of a series of 8 short videos exploring the basic issues of life. We look at questions such as ‘Does God exist?’ or ‘What about suffering?’ – we base each course around the questions you ask. These are available on our website and Facebook page.   After Faithlook, for those who want to learn and experience more on their faith journey can join the next Alpha course.

Alpha

Over 2 million people in the UK have attended an Alpha Course – an opportunity to explore the meaning of life, running in churches of all denominations across the world. Alpha is an opportunity for anyone to explore the Christian faith in a relaxed setting over 8 thought provoking weekly sessions.

Alpha is open to anyone! It may be that you are searching for a relationship with God, want to understand more about faith, would benefit from going through the basics again or you would like to learn to explain your faith more clearly to those who are asking you questions.  Alpha is a place where no question is regarded as too simple or too hostile. Ask anything.

The course is completely free and includes a freshly cooked hot meal. There will be a short talk, followed by an opportunity to discuss issues raised in the evening or ask questions of a more general nature as we chat in small groups.

The next Alpha course starts on Tuesday 23 April.

The Pre-Marriage Course

The Pre-Marriage Course is a series of five sessions produced by Holy Trinity Brompton (HTB) to help engaged couples or those exploring the possibility of marriage, build strong foundations for their future together. It is for couples who are exploring the idea of getting married and for those who are already engaged. It’s designed for those who want to give their marriage the best possible start, whether they’re exploring marriage for the first time or have been married before.

The course is based on Christian principles but designed for all couples with or without a church background. You do not need to be getting married in a church to come on the course.  The Pre-Marriage Course at TBC is hosted by Ben and Melissa Spring. Each couple will be seated on your own table, near a few other engaged couples and your discussions are completely private.

The course will include refreshments, a practical talk, and a time for discussion between you and your partner. Background music ensures that you can chat in complete privacy. You will never be asked to share anything about your relationship with anyone other than your partner. Prior to the start of the course or during the first few sessions, you will be sent a Couples Survey via email. This is a questionnaire and not a test of compatibility! It is designed to help you and your partner highlight issues that are important to discuss before getting married. It also affirms areas of strength in your relationship.

The Marriage Course

The Marriage Course, produced by Holy Trinity Brompton (HTB) is a series of seven sessions, designed to help couples invest in their relationship and build a strong marriage.  It is for couples who are seeking to strengthen their relationship. Some couples do the course to intentionally invest in their relationship, others are looking to address more specific challenges. Either way, the course offers essential tools and practical ideas to help you build a relationship that lasts a lifetime.
