Questions are an important part of learning, and participants are encouraged to seek clarification whenever something is unclear. The teachers will present the material in a beginner-friendly manner and help participants understand how the lessons relate to their personal journey.
The course is also an opportunity to meet others who may be at a similar stage of learning. Building connections with a supportive community can make the journey of faith more encouraging, meaningful and sustainable.

Come as you are, learn at your own pace and feel comfortable bringing your questions.
