Nurturing Healthy Faith in Children
Parents and carers play the most vital role in a child’s spiritual journey—but how do we pass on a faith that feels like genuine good news
This two-part Learning Group explores how we can create space for children to know God through trust rather than rigid rules and performance. Together, we will discuss practical ways to foster a grounded, resilient, and healthy faith in the next generation that can flex and grow with them into adulthood.
When: Sept 2026 (Dates TBC)
Where: 101 Donegall Street, Belfast
Format: 2 sessions (90min each - 7:45-9:15pm)

Previous Learning Groups
Below you can find examples of previous Learning Groups we have offered. If you would be interested in any of these running again, please let us know
Evolving Faith
What happens when the beliefs you once held dear don’t seem to work any more or you feel you’re losing the certainty you once knew?
The Evolving Faith group is for those who have found their faith being challenged — either by their lived experience, by skepticism or by the seeming irrelevance of it in a modern, secular world — and yet still have a desire to hold onto it. This group will explore this through a mix of sharing & discussion in a safe space with some input along the way.
Sexuality & Inclusion
What does the bible and faith have to say about our sexuality? How should the church approach unity, diversity and the inclusion of all brothers and sisters?
The Sexuality & Inclusion learning group is for those seeking to understand more about human sexual diversity and the vision of a more inclusive church that is rooted in the ancient, radical gospel of Jesus.
The Big Questions
The Big Questions Learning Group is a 4-week teaching & discussion group helping us explore our embedded beliefs on the biggest and most complex questions we have about Life & Death, Heaven & Hell, and everything that makes us Christian.
Key theological questions covered include: Is God a God of love? If God is a God of love, then what about the wrath of God, how do we make sense of Old Testament violence, the violence of the cross, Hell and the End Times in the Book of Revelation?
Relationships Course
The Relationship course is for those dating, engaged, or married who want to explore healthy relationships in the way of Jesus. Over dinner each couple will explore topics such as family of origin, looking back so you can look forward, communication, conflict, emotional availability and spirituality within a healthy relationship.
During the course the team will offer input from a fantastic range of resources as well as sharing their own lived experience.
Understanding Scripture
Where do we begin when it comes to reading and understanding the bible? Is there one correct right way to read it?
The Understanding Scripture group is for those seeking to open themselves up to the ancient, sacred text of the Church and all it’s perennial wisdom, respecting aspects such as context and genre and learning how we might apply its truth to our lives today. The group will explore this through a mix of teaching & discussion.
