What others have said about this course:“For me the ‘what if’ course was a fantastic opportunity to further explore my journey of faith in an environment that was extremely informal and relaxed. I was also genuinely inspired by others and made new friends along the way” (Cathy)“The What if?’ course strikes a great balance of being laid back and friendly, but at the same time challenging enough to explore some big questions. It was both enlightening and enjoyable and is highly recommended for those wanting to look a little deeper!” (Rob)“There was a great atmosphere every week! I have made some new friends and have loved enhancing my knowledge on the Christian faith. The course has most definitely helped me to grow in my own faith and I can genuinely say my spiritual connection has grown with each week of the course. I’m embracing being on my spiritual journey and I am very excited to continue growing in my faith.’ (Louise)“The course was a great opportunity to develop both friendship and fellowship with others. It doesn’t matter where you are in your faith as the course has something for everyone. It can bring you to faith, answer any questions or nagging doubts you might have or perhaps it will just help you to develop and strengthen your faith. I enjoyed the opportunity to talk freely and just to listen to others discuss their ideas, opinions, and experiences in small groups. The food was also excellent!” (Janette)“The course made me feel more in touch with my faith and gave me a more positive outlook on my life, feeling more fulfilled and able to focus more on what really matters and too not get as hung up on trivial things. If you're debating whether to give the course a go, you've nothing to lose and a lot to gain! - you’ll be glad you did!” (Graham)
