Seminars + Workshops

This year our Autumn Soul Seminars are taking a new shape! We want to give you more choice and more space to engage.

Saturday morning will begin with a 45-minute worship session, before moving into Seminar Slot 1, where you can choose from five different 30-minute seminars. You’ll get the same choice again in Seminar Slot 2, followed by Seminar Slot 3, with a range of 45-minute seminars to dive into.

We’ll then wrap up the morning with time in your youth groups for discussion before lunch.

Tangled Thoughts, Steady God

Made for More

30 mins

Anxiety can feel like a storm in your mind. Racing thoughts, heavy hearts and moments where peace feels far away, but what if, in the middle of all that noise, God is still steady? In this seminar we will talk about the reality of anxious thoughts and the deep unshakable stability that God offers.
Life doesn’t always go to plan. Faith can feel fragile when we walk through grief, disappointment, suffering, doubt or disappointment. In this honest and hope-filled seminar we will hear stories from people who have faced hard times and held onto Jesus throughout it all. We will hear powerful reminders that God is faithful, even when life is not easy.

The Story of the Bible

Play it by Ear

From the garden to the cross, from chaos to hope, the Bible isn’t just a book, it is the greatest story ever told, but does it all fit together? In this fun, fast paced and interactive seminar we will explore the big picture of the Bible. The people, the plot twists, the promises and the God who is behind it all. Whether you have read it cover to cover or don’t know where to start, come and discover the overarching story of the Bible. Expect laughs, surprises and maybe even a few moments that change how you see the Bible forever

Restore the Joy

Mel Douglas

30 mins

Life can wear us down. Sometimes, joy feels distant, buried under stress, struggles or just the weight of all of it. Joy isn’t something we fake it is something God restores. In this seminar we will explore what it means to choose joy, even in difficult situations, rediscovering the joy of knowing God, even after mistakes, regrets or dry seasons in faith. Through Psalm 51:12 and other key moments in scripture, we will see how God meets us in our low points and breathes joy back into our hearts. This is a space to reflect reset and to remember that joy is not based on circumstances, it is rooted in the God who saves.

Be still, what if God is bigger than Your Thoughts

Life moves fast. Our minds get loud. What if, in the stillness, we could meet the God who is greater than our questions, worries and understanding? In this peaceful and reflective Bible study, we will slow down and create space to listen to scripture, to God and to our own hearts. Through quiet reflection, guided prayer and honest conversation with God, we will explore the deep truth that God is bigger than our hearts. Come as you are. No pressure. Just space to be still and know that He is God.
