What is ce@costacoffee?
ce@costacoffee is a Christianity Explored course run and supported by a host of Edinburgh area churches, across the denominations.

Who is ce@costacoffee for?
The course is for anyone who wants to investigate the claims of Christianity in an informal, non-church, group setting. Whether you have previous experience of church, Christians and the Bible, or none at all, this is the course for you. Everyone is welcome. We will respect your background, culture and beliefs. Tell us as little, or as much about yourself as you feel comfortable. Christians are encouraged to invite non-Christians to the course and accompany them, if desired.

What goes on?
Costa Coffee refreshments are available upon arrival giving an opportunity to relax. The course is normally run in groups of 6-8 people, and after briefly discussing the course material from the previous week, there is a 10-15 minute talk on a different topic each week (see above for weekly topics). The groups discuss any questions that arise and the evening is wound up around 9pm.

Can I pull out if I want to?
Of course you can. Bring along your doubts and questions and feel free to leave the course at any time.

How much does it cost?
The course is free but an opportunity will be given to those who wish to contribute towards the cost of the refreshments.

Do I have to bring anything?
No. All the course materials are provided.

Is it like church?
No. It's a non-church venue and it is not a church service. There will be no praying, singing, and you will not be asked to read aloud.

Am I going to get preached at?
Each evening includes a talk designed to explain an aspect of Christian belief and to stimulate discussion. Hopefully you will find it challenging and amusing. Group leaders will facilitate discussion and try to answer questions. You will not have to speak in a group if you don't want to. You are welcome to come and just sit and listen.
