Courses.
Each term we offer Courses to enable people to focus on a particular topic or area of the Christian life.

Alpha
Alpha is an eight-week course exploring the basics of Christian faith through conversation and community. Whether you're curious about Jesus, returning to faith after years away, or simply want to think through life's big questions in good company, there's a place for you here.
The Spiritual Health Course
At Greyfriars, we are committed to seeking spiritual health as we seek to 'Become more like Jesus'. Spiritual health is deep wellbeing that comes from a soul anchored in Jesus rather than in self‑improvement or changing circumstances. True wellness is not the absence of struggle but the presence of steadfastness - the pursuit of becoming whole in Christ even when the body or mind feels weary.
The Spiritual Health Course is an opportunity to read Rachel Bedford’s book alongside others and discuss the content in small groups. Feel free to buy a copy of the book prior to the course starting - though you don’t need to have read it before the first session! It is available in our bookshop for £12 or via online booksellers, plus there will be spare copies available to buy on the night.

Hope for All Creation
A course which looks theologically & practically at how to care for God’s creation.
Hope for All Creation: We inhabit a world groaning with the increasing impact of climate and environmental crises; with the sheer scale of the situation making many feel powerless and overwhelmed – but there is hope! Based on a new publication from the Church of England, we will look at how the Church’s faith speaks to it, unfolding just how deep and enduring is God’s commitment to the whole creation, to sustain it, to renew and redeem it. We will look at how we can care for creation in partnership with others, to show solidarity with the vulnerable, to be prophetic in speech and action on these issues – locally, nationally and globally – so that we can live out this faith and hope.
CAP Money Course
The CAP Money course teaches us to be smarter in managing our money, day-by-day. CAP experts have developed a proven method for helping people to take control of their finances, to avoid debt and become confident in building a spending plan and sticking to it. You'll learn from videos and group discussions how to:
- Build and balance a household budget
- Understand what spending is essential in your life, and what is not
- Set aside some money for the future
- Avoid financial problems, by making smarter, well-informed decisions
Course attendees who have internet access by computer or phone will be provided a CAP-hosted private spreadsheet, designed to accept your personal details of income and outgoings and showing you a summary of your finances. Those who prefer paper-based planning will be assisted too. The course will be led by a CAP-trained Money Coach, who will be happy to support you as much or as little as you wish, in creating your personal money plan.
The course is for anyone who has to manage household finances and would like to become smarter or less anxious in making money plans. The course is free.
