As part of our introduction to becoming a member of the church, we run a Foundation Class which runs for six weeks and aims to give a clearer understanding of what we believe as a Church and what God has called us to do. The first five sessions cover the material below, the last session is more of a chat about how you can fit into the church and what activities it would be good for you to get involved in.  We can be flexible about when the course runs so try to fit into your availability.
