Exploring Faith

‘Come and See,’ – one 1st century Jew said to another – and they would never be the same again. (John 1:43-50)

I don’t know what it is that has encouraged you to explore faith, maybe a life event has ignited your search, perhaps it’s something you’ve been putting off but can’t any longer. Whatever it is, we’d love you to come and see why we think getting to know and follow Jesus is the best decision anyone can ever make.

The best way to start considering faith is to come along on a Sunday morning and start asking questions. Church is very friendly and welcoming. Anyone can come, with whatever questions, thoughts or feelings that are going on with you.

We also run various courses across the year to help people explore faith including Christianity Explored (Autumn Term), and Alpha (Spring Term - starts late January). Contact the parish office for more information.

If a course isn’t for you, we would also love to meet for a coffee, pint or just a chat and explore faith with you.

If you’re not ready to come along or meet in person and just want to continue this exploration yourself on line, we recommend beginning with these free online videos at www.321course.com. There are only 8 in total, each under 20 minutes. There's a 40 second trailer below you can watch to find out more. If you do take a look at them, do let us know – we’d love to know what you think.

Getting to know Jesus is the most amazing journey anyone can go on. Why not take your next step today?

Planning your Visit

A Warm Hello

Whether you are thinking of coming to church for the first time because you are interested in exploring faith, whether you’re new to the area and looking for a church, or whether you’re investigating baptism or marriage, you are really welcome. Our vision is to be “A house of God’s light for all peoples and generations,” and we really hope you’ll get to experience some of that light.

You’ll find we have different styles of services that reflect our diverse congregation. Click here to find out which of our services might suit you. When you arrive you should be met by a member of our Welcome Team who will be wearing a Welcome badge. Please do make yourself known to them so that they can let you have a Welcome Pack and, if you like, can introduce you to someone to sit next to in the service.

What is there for my children?
If you are coming along with children, you might find our 9.30 Family Service most suitable. Most weeks, the children start in the church with their accompanying adult (we really value worshipping God altogether as an inter-generational community.) After around 15 minutes, children go out to their own Sunday groups. More details of these age groups can be found on our Children and Young People page. On the first Sunday of the month, we hold either an All Age or All In service.

How do I get to know people in such a big church?
While you will get to know some people if you come to a church service, it is often at smaller gatherings which happen during the week that you will get to know people better. Click here to read about the other groups which run during the week and here for activities that go on at the church.

How can I get involved?
Click here to read about the many ways in which you can get involved in the life of the church. Getting involved is another great way of way of getting to know people. We’d love KPC to be a church where we grow spiritually by contributing.

We hope very much that you will like what you taste and soon feel at home in our church.

Best wishes,
Geoff Lanham, Vicar
