This section of our web site describes various courses that are available to you and your small group(s) to promote spiritual growth and development. Please contact the church office (or see the Info Desk at a church service) to arrange to join or start one of these courses.
When new courses are starting up and are open for new people, these will be advertised in the calendar section of the site (and sometimes in the news section as well).

Introducing God

Introducing God is a relational course that introduces friends to God in a relaxed culturally appropriate way. It is flexible and can be run for seven or eight weeks, with or without the weekend away. Introducing God puts the propositions of the Biblical meta-narrative (summarised by the Two Ways to Live presentation) into relational clothes.

Christianity Explained

This course is a six-unit explanation of the gospel, which aims to teach the fundamentals of the Christian faith. It is based around the Gospel of Mark, which is chosen for its simplicity. It is a low-key approach in that there is no attempt to pressure or manipulate people into a commitment, though the need for a genuine faith-response is clearly and often put. At no time will the participant be asked to answer questions that will expose them to ridicule, pray aloud or read aloud.

Discovering Belonging

A short workshop explaining the what it means to belong to the Townsville Baptist Church family.  From this session, participants are encouraged to become fully participating members of the church family.

Crown Financial

Crown is an interdenominational ministry that uses a remarkably effective small group study to train people to apply the financial principles from the Word of God to their everyday lives. Crown does not endorse or sell financial products or services.

We have a number of trained Crown Financial Ministries leaders at Townsville Baptist, and can organise a course for your small group (or any new small group). Courses run for 10 weeks, and are very practical.
