LCF Courses
Scroll down to view the various courses that we run here at LCF as part of our discipleship programme.
The Alpha Course
Alpha is a course that is made up of 12 sessions (11 Thursday evenings + 1 Saturday).
It creates a space where people are excited to bring their friends for a conversation about faith, life and God. If you are new to LCF or want to explore the Christian faith for the first time, this is the perfect way to do so.
If you have already made a commitment to Jesus, this course is not for you.
We would love to invite you to our next course beginning on Thursday 16 April to Thursday 25 June 2026 at 7:30-9:30pm in the Church Hall. This also includes a day of teaching on Saturday 6 June from 9.30am-4.00pm in the Main Church (includes lunch).
The informal group discussions are a great opportunity to ask questions. We would love for you to join us, you can sign up below.
The Bible Course
The new 'Bible Course' starts 10 September 2026 7.30-9.30pm 2026 and runs every Thursday for eight weeks. This course will give you a good overview of the Bible, taking you in bite-sized chunks through some its major themes (e.g. its history, geography and significant characters). The whole course costs £5 which covers your resource pack. Each week, we'll start with refreshments then get down to Bible Study with Q&As.
The First Steps Handbook
Nurturing new Christians is important to us at LCF and we have pulled together a practical handbook called First Steps to help you learn the basics, as you start your exciting journey of getting to know God.
We encourage you to work through the 7 units in the handbook with a Christian leader or trusted friend who can encourage you. Please let us know by using the link below if you would like us to help connect you with someone who can help you with this.
