Shepshed Study Weekends 2025

Christian Evidences

In an increasingly sceptic society, the student of Jesus must be prepared to give an answer for the hope that is in Christ. These studies will address various areas of evidence to support the Biblical story.

Dates: 4th to 5th and 25th to 26th October 2025
