FAQ

If you have any other questions, please contact us.

Who is Hope for?

Hope is for anyone who wants to investigate Christianity informally with a group of other people. Whether you have previous experience of church, Christians and the Bible, or none at all, this is for you. Everyone is welcome – from the most sympathetic believer to the convinced atheist. We will respect your background, culture and beliefs. Tell us as little or as much about yourself as you feel comfortable.

How long does it last?

Hope runs over three sessions. If you cant make one or two of them that’s ok, obviously you will miss some of the content and discussion but that’s not the end of the world. If you don’t like it, there’s no pressure to come back.

How much does it cost?

It’s free!

Can I pull out if I want to?

Of course you can.

Do I have to bring anything?

Just yourself. If you like taking notes or writing down questions, you could bring a pen or device, but that’s totally optional.

Is it ‘churchy’?

We hope not. It’s not a church service. There’s no praying, singing, or clapping, and you won’t be asked to read aloud.

Am I going to get preached at?

Each evening includes a video designed to explain an aspect of Christian belief and to stimulate discussion. Hopefully you’ll find it challenging and helpful. The group leaders will facilitate discussion and try to answer questions.

Do I have to speak in the group?

Not if you don’t want to. You are welcome to come and just sit and listen.

How is Hope different from other courses and series?
Hope looks at the life, death and resurrection of Jesus in Luke’s Gospel, this three-session series shows that Christianity is about real hope: a joyful expectation for the future, based on true events in the past, which changes everything about my present.
Why is Hope run?

Christians count it a real privilege to explain the truth and relevance of the Christian message. We don’t have all the answers but believe that we have exciting news to share about Jesus Christ.

What if I’ve already done the Life or Explore courses through Christ Central? Is Hope the course for me?
Absolutely. Though LIFE and EXPLORE are similar in their format they cover different aspects of the Christian faith to HOPE. So the content of the three series is quite different. If you’ve done EXPLORE or LIFE before and still have questions about God, Jesus or the Bible then HOPE is a great way to continue to explore those questions.

We look forward to welcoming you at Hope.
