We also run Alpha and Parenting Courses, which you can find out more about in the Community section, and as well as attending courses in our own Church, people go further afield to larger conferences.

Marriages need input and effort to be successful, and so, from time to time the Family Church organises marriage enrichment events. These vary from a ‘several week' course, to just one evening, to a weekend. The teaching is practical, down-to-earth and realistic, and has been of great benefit to people’s marriages.
In the Family Church, couples that are intending to marry are encouraged to do a marriage preparation course. The course gives a Christian perspective on marriage, and tackles many of the issues that can sadly cause problems in marriages today such as; handling money; relatives, dealing with conflict, communication and sex. At a time when the divorce statistics are so high, this course is an excellent preparation for marriage, it gives plenty of practical advice, and helps couple think through issues before they become problems.

It can make a real difference to someone if they feel that they are really being listened to. The listening course is based on The Acorn Christian Listeners course, (click on website link on the left ). It aims to equip folk to listen more effectively, and thus be better able to help people. This is not a counselling course, but it bridges the gap between the counselling services at one extreme, and just being a friend at the other end of the spectrum, It will help you to know how to listen properly, when to speak, and when not to.

Blowing Your Cover is a course designed to help Christians confidently explain the Christian faith to their family and friends. It has been developed by Kevin Higham (a member of the Family Church) together with Mike Sprenger. It consists of six multimedia training sessions that will inspire and challenge, plus accompanying workbooks.

 The Encounter weekend is a weekend away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life that gives people a chance to spend some quality time with God. They are given space to hear what God is saying, and to deal with issues as they arise. The weekend takes place at Avon Tyrrell out at Bransgore in the New Forest, and the emphasis of the weekend is very much on a personal time between each individual and God.
