Being With is a life changing way to help people explore the Christian faith.
Being With helps people consider Christian faith in new and refreshing ways, without needing prior knowledge, but a simple willingness to share what you do know or feel.
There are no experts in the room.
What you may be feeling is as important as what you may be thinking.
It’s about sharing stories about our lives and hearing the stories of others.
These stories are the small things that mean a lot to us and they can also be the most challenging and life-changing moments of our lives.
There’s a space for every person’s life and story.
The only thing you are asked to do is be prepared to listen to others stories and maybe share your own.
Exploring topics like, Meaning, Jesus, Church, Suffering, Prayer and the Cross.
It can be online or in person. It is spread over 10 weeks.
There is no judgement, no wrong answers and no proscribed path. It's authentic and real.
But don't take our word for it check out the quotes below.
Each person is celebrated.
What if our real human problem is isolation?
Our world believes our problem is limitation – not enough resources, information, wisdom.
But if we think the problem is isolation what we need is all around us: it’s all about relationships.
Being With creates opportunities to make significant relationships.
Through those relationships, we realise the truth we already know and discover truth through the experience of others.
We can’t wait to hear your stories and experiences and journey with you, discovering truth, beauty and goodness.
