DISCIPLE Course Programme

DISCIPLE is a four-part study programme that brings you on a journey through the Bible from survey of the entire Bible (DISCIPLE 1) to deeper understanding by focusing on individual books (DISCIPLE 2, 3 & 4). The aim of this series is not merely information, but the transformation of heart and mind as you allow God’s Word to get into you and change you. In 2023, we are offering two classes of DISCIPLE 1; one in the morning and one in the evening. We are also offering one evening class for DISCIPLE 4. Details of the classes are given below.
