Take the plunge, re-discover your faith

A family splashing in the waves at the beach.

If you’ve wondered, What’s next? Or if you are looking for new ways to share, experience and learn about your faith with others, this is your chance to dip a toe in the water.

This online course comprises six fortnightly workshops, conducted in real time so there’s plenty of opportunity for questions, discussion and connection. All from the convenience of home.

Whether this is your first experience with faith formation, or a part of your ongoing education journey, you will enjoy the contemporary approaches of our qualified teachers, lively discussion, and the opportunity to follow up with personal reading and videos that will expand your understanding of the Bible, should you wish.

Is this course for me?

The course is designed to cater for a range of learners, for those who are new to reading the Scriptures and for those ready to take the next step and dig deeper.

What will I learn?

Through the workshop series we will delve into the intricate nature and content of the Bible, examining essential themes and topics. Together we will explore the divine inspiration behind this sacred text and unravel its significance for Christians. Learn how to read and interpret biblical texts and gain confidence in applying Scripture in your own context.

Where can it take me?

The course is designed to help you extend your own personal faith experience. The knowledge and insights you gather can also be applied in the context of a parish or other Catholic ministry.

Or you may choose to build on this course which can also be completed with assessment to gain a nationally accredited qualification: 11238NAT Diploma of Christian Ministry and Theology offered by Institute of Faith Education (National Provider No. 31402).
