Building a Biblically Inclusive Church (Members Only)

We welcome back our friend Andrew Bunt to help us consider how we build church together that is true to God's word, and is also inclusive to all peoples, regardless of sexual orientation or relationship status. Come and be equipped in this important subject, through teaching, discussion & Q&A, where we will be looking at:

  • Gospel culture – How churches need to be shaped by the gospel so that all recognise we are sexually broken and sexually sinners, but all can be forgiven and empowered for holy living.

  • Singleness and marriage – Getting our understanding of both right so we don't prize one and pity the other. How this works in practice.

  • Friendship – A biblical vision for it and it's vital importance for all, married and single

This is restricted to church members only

Bible and Beyond
May

Bible and Beyond

The bible is the inspired word of God, all of it is useful for teaching, reproof, for correction and training in righteousness (2 Tim 3:16). As followers of Jesus, we want to be responsive to the Holy Spirit speaking through His word, and our hope is that meeting regularly will equip us with tools and resources to deepen our personal devotional lives and bible studies with others.

Come and be challenged, encouraged and ready to share as we meet for discussion and to grapple with specific passages together. All welcome.

God loves

  • The Durham Centre (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Every year we do 5 days devoted to going out into the communities of Durham and showing that GOD LOVES!!!

We do this by 
1) Wearing a T-shirt that says GOD LOVES
2) Doing things that show that God Loves - gardening, litter picking, painting, washing cars, handing out free stuff, going into schools, worshipping Jesus, A MASSIVE FUN DAY
3) Verbally telling people that God Loves them 

There will be lots of our young adults getting involved in God Loves as per every year but we want YOU involved too.

Wed-Fri 11-13th June we'll be meeting together for worship and teaching in Gilesgate and then heading out in different teams to show that GOD LOVES.

On Saturday 14th June, we're doing a SUMMER FUNDAY at Gilesgate primary school and we would LOVE your help with organising it and making it happen.

On Sunday 15th June we meet at church as normal, eat lunch and head out again.

If you would like to get involved on any or all of the days, please signup here: https://forms.gle/5tkm5TAeZfyfyvyk6
