Christianity Considered Courses


The 'Christianity Considered' Course is designed to help enquirers form an educated decision as to whether they wish to become a Christian. At present it is designed to last for six sessions, and covers the following subjects:

1. What about the Bible? Is it trustworthy?
2. Who was Jesus?
3. Why the cross?
4. Did Jesus really rise from the dead?
5. How did they become Christians in Bible times?
6. How do I become a Christian?

Courses arranged at venues in Newport, Nelson and Trecynon have already successfully completed. The material, now available as a Powerpoint presentation on a CD-Rom, or as a full presentation on a DVD is currently being used in Fellowships in both Lancashire and Northumberland.

Any fellowship interested in hosting a course should get in touch with Bryan.

Mountjoy Bible School can come to you !


The Bible School also travels to other venues. Besides Newport, they are held in Plymouth, (Devon), Six Bells (Nr. Abertillery) and Corbridge, (Nr. Newcastle upon Tyne). They have also been held in Altofts (Yorkshire), and Bromsgrove. This year it is intended to add Blackpool to the list of venues. (n.b. The first of the Blackpool Bible Schools took place on 9th February 2008)

If you feel your church/assembly/fellowship could benefit from a visit of the Mountjoy Bible School, please contact Bryan. Remember, all arrangements can be tailor made for your company. Some fellowships prefer morning and afternoon sessions, others prefer afternoon and evening, while others just have either a morning or an afternoon session. All arrangements are flexible and can be adjusted to local preferences.

In respect of the mobile Bible School., Bryan will be the presenter for the day, and he will be responsible for the teaching. He uses a computer and projector for mostly Powerpoint presentations and if the Church/Fellowship has no equipment, he will bring his own. He also provides notes. For a first visit, the subject is normally ‘The Life of Christ in Its Jewish Setting’.
