Open to Question
Open to Question is an opportunity to explore and discuss the big issues of life and the hot potato subjects surrounding the Christian Faith, on Sundays at 6.30 pm.
These events will not be a church service, but will consist of a 40 minute talk, refreshments and a question and discussion time. Occasionally we also have a live debate between a Christian and a non-Christian on the issues.
You can listen to an audio recording of past events, and some have even been videoed!
