A Fresh Start for the Church

Course session

This free course, consisting of 8 x 15-minute sessions, has been designed to enable the Church to have frank discussions and forge a way forward in unity.

Each session has a Bible-based talk, a suggested 'to do list' and a lockdown story.

There will be plenty to talk about after each session and our hope and prayer is that the course will facilitate open discussion that will bring healing and unity to the Church as we emerge, some tentatively and others enthusiastically, from lockdown.

Session 1 - A Fresh Start

It's time to be honest.

Session 2 - Faith to Face!

Better in the room than on Zoom.

Session 3 - Death Defeated

Death no longer has the victory!

Session 4 - Lockdown Loss Recovery

We all lost out...but there were some gains.

Session 5 - Re-Imagining Mission

Re-imagine the mission of the church.

Session 6 - Repairing Community Brokenness

Food banks, damage to local businesses.  Some good news stories too!

Session 7 - Pandemic-Proofing our Faith

Are we ready for the next crisis?

Session 8 - Does the Future have a Church?

I am the church...and so are you.

Each session includes a short ‘Lockdown Story’ as well as 4 action points to discuss and act on.
