The relaunched Roots of Faith Programme is for anyone who wants to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Two of the key areas of Vision 2026 are Making Disciples and Being Witnesses. We believe that knowing the Scriptures, understanding what we believe, and thinking about how we show this in our daily lives are crucial to our journey of Christian Discipleship and our ability to be Witnesses to Jesus Christ. We trust that the programme's modules will help you to:
You can do just one module, all six, or any number of the modules. The modules are independent, so you don’t have to do them in any particular order or in a single year.
It is planned that each will be a mixture of face to face and online sessions with the first session face to face, the following sessions using Zoom and the final session all day Saturday at Whalley Abbey (including lunch). If you decide to attend with others from your church you could meet together on the 'Zoom' weeks and watch together and be your own 'breakout group'.
The evening sessions will begin promptly at 7.30 pm and finish before 9.30pm with a drinks break part way through
If you are interested in attending any of these, please use this link here to let us know and we can then send you more information once the venues and dates are confirmed to enable you to book.
