Help with finding out more about Being a Christian
If you would welcome a chat.
Being a Christian is the best adventure you could begin. God loves and cares about you. He wants you to know His love, His forgiveness and acceptance through Christ. He has a plan and purpose for each human life. To be a Christian is to be living the fullest human life possible.
The best way to discover more is to meet a real life Christian! There are plenty of people who would love to meet up and listen to where you are coming from. They won’t bash you over the head with a bible! But will share their faith as much as is helpful. If you email guydc@cofebirmingham.com with your details, we would love to connect you with a local Christian who you can spend some time with.
