Faith

If you have recently arrived here, you may be surprised to find that although Britain is historically a Christian country, most people are not practicing Christians. Christianity has a long history in Winchester,since Saxon times, and the cathedral in the city centre dates back to 1079.

Friends International is a Christian organisation, and therefore we have strong links with local churches and Christian groups in Winchester.

Bible Courses & Bible Studies

Do you want to get to know more about Christianity? Are you a Christian who wants to grow in your understanding of the Bible?

Friends International staff and volunteers meet with individuals and groups to study the basics of Christianity. Christianity has played an essential part in the development of the history of Britain and its culture, although sadly today much of our "Western lifestyle" is opposed to Christian values. Friends International believes in the living God and the Bible as his word to us, and therefore that Christianity is still very relevant today for all people everywhere.

Bible studies run throughout the term, for both groups and individuals. We usually run a 10 week course exploring the basics of Christianity - details of this will be available once the times and dates are confirmed.

To visit a church, or to sign up for one of these courses, please fill in your details below, or send us an email.These activities are entirely optional and open to people of any faith or none.
