Venn Evening School is a learning journey in Christian essentials, through night classes in Bible, Doctrine, and Christian Living.

Evening School runs over three Tuesday nights every Autumn, Winter and Spring. On offer in Wellington this August is the course ‘Who is the Church?’ with Nathan McLellan.

Many of us have unresolved questions about the Church. Is being a member of a local church essential to being a follower of Jesus? Why is the Church an impediment for some in their Christian faith? How can we reconcile the Church’s failures with her many contributions? In this class, we will consider the Church’s identity and mission, while being sensitivity to the questions that people are asking in our contemporary context. We’ll also examine the practices that enable and sustain the Church in her identity and loving obedience to Jesus, empowered by the Holy Spirit. This class will draw from Scripture and various perspectives within the Christian tradition to demonstrate that the Church—the body of Christ—is crucial to God’s unfolding purposes in the world, both in her health and in her brokenness.

Whether you’re new to the faith or have been following Jesus for a long time —Evening School is for everyone. It’s also a great option for small groups to take part in together. Join us for three weeks of worship, teaching, conversation, and kai.
