News and Events

Online events

In addition to our long-standing teaching and training programmes, we are offering an increasing number of activities online – open to all with means of access. All this has essentially been made feasible through a general acceptance and growing familiarity with online conferencing. We offer:

  • two weekly Online Bible Classes
  • a weekly thought: ‘Something to think about’
  • an occasional Friday Evening Quiz to provide some light-hearted, educational entertainment
  • bi-monthly Saturday Evening Lectures Online on a variety of subjects. See here.

Our weekly Online Bible Classes

Our Online Bible Classes are open to anyone who wants to be a part of a live, online class, and who has access to a computer or similar object. You are free to be a part of whichever and however many classes you may choose. No enrolment or registration is necessary. Classes begin at 8 o’clock and access is generally provided up to 15 minutes before the hour. The links below will take you to the online Waiting Room from where you will be given access.

Where can I access these sessions?

Unlike our weekly thoughts: ‘Something to think about’ which we are continuing to host on YouTube, we’re hosting these classes on Zoom. You may want to download the Zoom client or app – you shouldn’t have to, but it would improve the experience if you did. Please find the schedule below. Clicking on the image or title should bring you to the relevant Zoom session. Thank you.

If you need help in accessing and using Zoom, please click here.

We have decided to record live online classroom sessions so as to make them available to those who wish to catch up or review the material presented in the classes. These will be available here.

Class schedule for twelve weeks from 6th April 2026

Poster for Letter from JamesMonday

8.00 pm ~ The Letter from James

Martin Luther called it a ‘letter of straw’, unworthy of a place in the New Testament. The letter of James may not have the doctrinal depth of Paul’s letters, but it is perhaps the most practical of the New Testament letters.
You are invited to join us as James teaches us how our faith in God is to be expressed in our daily actions and relationships with others, as we walk with Jesus.

Presenter: John Griffiths

Poster for Roman Empire NTThursday

8.00 pm ~ The Roman Empire and New Testament

New Testament events took place under the Roman Empire but what were the Romans doing in Judah and what did they do for the new Christian community? We will meet emperors and plenty of less exalted Roman citizens including the rabbi Paul whose citizenship got him out of hot water on more than one occasion, before taking him to Rome just in time to get caught up in Nero’s persecution.
