Foundation Programme: Exploring Spiritual Growth
May 30
Foundation Programme: Exploring Spiritual Growth

Lecturer: Pauline Simonsen - Please note this course will run for 6 weeks, Full Thursdays.

This course is rated “M” for maturity, because it’s all about growing up in God. Followers of Jesus are called to ‘grow up into his full stature’ – but what does that mean? How does it happen?

This course will take us deeper into relationship with God, where we learn of him, about ourselves, and so about living as mature people of God. We’ll practise some of the ancient and new disciplines that God’s Spirit uses to mature us. And we’ll let God loose in our lives again to shape us as his children. Get growing!

6 Week Course on Thursday 9.30am - 3 pm.

$300 Earlybird (Paid by Friday 10 May 5pm) $350 standard fee
