We do not want anyone to be excluded from the course on the basis of cost. If the cost is an issue please advise us, as we have access to some third party sponsorship, in appropriate circumstances.

Course Content
Four subjects will be covered in this course, with two subjects taught each session.
A detailed schedule will be provided prior to the course commencing. The subjects taught are as follows:
Principles of the Word
Understanding the Whole Man, Spirit, Soul and Body
New Creation Realities
The Foundations of Faith
Session Handouts
Digital and hard copies will be available.
We encourage you to bring a Bible with you, and we would suggest a physical rather than a digital version. (The New King James Version will be used within the sessions / handouts).
We also suggest that you come prepared to take notes, either physically or electronically.
Recordings
We encourage you to make every effort to be at each session, to gain full benefit, particularly from the interactive Q&A, and opportunities for prayer. However, we are aware that of course unexpected circumstances can arise and prevent this. In this scenario a recording will be made available of the missed session/s.
Booklist
No additional reading is required, but a list of recommended books related to each subject will be made available.
Validation of Course
The course is not accredited, but there will be a voluntary examination at the end of the course, and completion of the course will be marked with a certificate.
