Marriage Course

Building Strong Foundations
The Art of Communication
Resolving Conflict
The Power of Forgiveness
Parents and In-laws
Good Sex
Love In Action

The aim of The Marriage Course is to enable married couples to build a healthy marriage that will last a lifetime. The course is beneficial and enjoyable for those whose marriage is already strong and for those who are going through difficulties. The course, which is being offered free-of-charge, runs for seven Monday evenings. Each evening starts with a video presentation and then individual couples are given private, personal time to discuss that evening’s topic.

The privacy of each couple is always respected. The course is based on Christian principles, but it is absolutely suitable for couples without a church background. The institution of marriage is a key component to a stable society and more than ever, it needs positive reinforcement and attention brought to it. It is essential that both husband and wife attend each evening.

If you are interested in attending please call the Church office.

Alpha Course

Have you ever wondered what relevance Jesus has for our lives today?  What is the point of life? Or is forgiveness possible? This low key and fun course will give you the opportunity to explore your questions in a friendly environment. 
Through humour, insight, and with enthusiasm Nicky Gumbel encourages us to explore who Jesus is and what the Christian faith is about.  Emmanuel Church has sponsored several Alpha Groups.  Each evening begins with dinner and an opportunity to get to know each other in a relaxed environment.  The video presentation is followed with a time to ask questions and share discussion.

If you would like to find out more about any of the courses then please contact the church office.

Small Groups 

Small groups provide a great opportunity for encouragement, fellowship and learning together.  We have several small groups at Emmanuel.  If you are interested in joining a small group please contact the church office.

Our day time small group meets at the Christian Education Building (right next door to the church) on Wednesday Mornings from 10- 11:30 am.  We look at and discuss the readings for the coming Sunday followed by a short communion service.  On the first Wednesday of every month the group goes to a local nursing home to lead a service for the residents.
