Living Faith modules are short courses, delivered over six weekday evenings or two or three Saturdays, on a range of subjects connected to the Christian faith and relevant to church and ministry. They assume no prior qualifications or knowledge, and aim to cater to a variety of learning styles. Many people with no academic background have enjoyed them, and benefitted from them in recent years.
Anyone can do any of the nine ‘open’ modules, without necessarily going forward to licensed ministry, and the ‘Introduction to the Bible’ module (Living Faith1) is accessible online, and can be completed in your own time.
