Christianity Explored

For anyone who would like to learn more about Christianity or learn/brush up on the basics.
  • VENUE: Please contact us for more information about where the next course is being held or to let us know if a course run at a different time of day/day of the week would be preferable.
  • TIME: The next course will begin on the evening of Monday 18th January.
  • WHAT HAPPENS IN THE CHRISTIANITY EXPLORED COURSE? The course is run in an informal setting, for a small group, and focuses on the book of Mark (in The Bible) with its emphasis on who Jesus was, what his aims were, and what it means to follow him. Each week, after briefly discussing the material from the week before, there is a talk or DVD on the theme for that particular week, after which the group can discuss any questions that arise specifically from that or any other questions people may have.
  • NOTES: If you are interested in attending this course, would simply like some more information about what is involved and/or where it will be held, please contact us by email at info@drbchurch.org.uk or, if you prefer, you could come to one of our Sunday Services and ask for more information then.

Tuesday Prayer And Bible Study

For anyone who wants to learn more about God and pray particularly for issues involving the church, both at Derby Road and across the world.
  • VENUE: DRBC - Church Hall
  • TIME: Most Tuesdays 7:30pm (arrive 7:25pm)
  • WHAT HAPPENS AT THE PRAYER MEETING AND BIBLE STUDY? We meet together to study the Bible and pray. The emphasis of this meeting is on prayer fuelled by scripture. We pray for diverse issues and on occasions have visitors to explain about projects they are working on so we can then join in pray specifically for this part of God's work. Prayer is vital activity for all Christians, both solitary and corporate. We seek here to pray in God's will and ask for his strength and action. We rely on His working and so prayer is the right response to a God who is: in control of all things, and; able to do much more than we ask or imagine.
  • NOTES: Some Tuesdays are taken up with official church business meetings, only Church Members may attend these meetings because they involve specific church policy and business only. On other rare Tuesdays no meeting is held at Derby Road because the church is encouraged to go to a different meeting in the week with other likeminded churches in the region, or possibly some other reason.

Men's Fellowship

For men.
  • VENUE: Various.
  • TIME: Various.
  • WHAT HAPPENS AT THE MEN'S FELLOWSHIP? The men's fellowship does not have a set schedule and takes place at various times and in various ways to accommodate the varying work patterns of the men in the church. There is a (fairly) regular coffee morning one Monday morning each month; frequent breakfasts, usually at around 8.00a.m. on a Saturday morning, with various men guest speaking; trips to day conferences, and; social evenings (ten pin bowling, TopGolf, curry).

Women's Fellowship

For any woman able to make it to an afternoon meeting.
  • VENUE: In the back room at the church (see how to find us for details of how to get to the church).
  • TIME: 2:00pm on the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays each month.
  • WHAT HAPPENS AT THE WOMENS MEETING? Meeting from 2.00pm to 2:15pm for tea, biscuits and chat. We have open afternoons quite frequently (where visitors and men are welcome) for things like Christmas lunch, summer lunch, bring-and-buy sales, the occasional social afternoon, and even garden parties in member's homes. Mainly, however, when we meet we have a speaker, and we learn to share together what it means to praise and love the God who already loves us. All the things that come from that we can learn together.
  • NOTES: Please use the rear entrance to the church (accessed from Grosvenor Road). Go through the iron gates, up the slope and the back the door is on your left. Once inside, turn immediately right and enter the back room through the door at the end of the passage. Check This Week At Derby Road to see if the meeting is taking place somewhere other than at the church.
