Courses in Programme, Part A:
Each topic will be covered one weekend per month starting in May.
EXPLORE A1 – The Abundant Christian Life 28 Feb-1 March 2025
We are born with questions about life etched in our hearts and this course seeks to answer these questions from a biblical perspective. We will look at how mankind got into such a mess and God’s amazing rescue plan – how God not only wants to save us but also wants to heal us and set us on the right course for our lives.
EXPLORE A2 – Deeper Intimacy with God 4-5 April 2025
This course is all about helping us come to know more of God and connect to Him in a deeper way. It will look at His character and nature and explore how we can have an intimate relationship with Him and seek to deal with the blockages that get in the way of knowing Him the way He really is.
EXPLORE A3 – The Power of Forgiveness 2-3 May 2025
The Kingdom principle of forgiveness is one that has a profound impact on our lives. As we both receive God’s forgiveness for our own sinful actions and also extend forgiveness to those who have hurt us, we begin to experience God’s transformation and healing. This course will explore the truth, challenges, and steps to freedom through forgiveness.
EXPLORE A4 – Overcoming Rejection and Betrayal 30-31 May 2025
Even though the Bible tells us that God loves all He has created and that when we accept Jesus as our Saviour we are fully part of God’s family again, we can still find it so hard to believe. This course will explore how rejection came into the world, how it can impact our lives, and how to move on from rejection to acceptance.
EXPLORE A5 – Exposing the Snares of the Enemy 1 27-28 June 2025
In this course, we will explore what the Bible says about Satan and the demonic, spiritual warfare and how the enemy can gain a stronghold in a person’s life. Jesus came to set the captives free and this course teaches how to step into spiritual freedom through deliverance in Jesus’ name.
EXPLORE A6 – Healing from Inner Hurt and Pain 25-26 July 2025
In this course, we will investigate how God made each person and how the various parts of our being, work together to develop the whole personhood.

EXPLORE A8 – Navigating Difficult Relationships 26-27 September 2025
