Hi, I’m Graham.
I oversee and run many of the explore courses, and help co-ordinate the opportunities for people to come and find out about the Christian faith.
I would love to help you or point you in the right direction if you have any questions, email graham.albans@graceinthecommunity.com
Hi, my name’s Andy. I’m married to Kitty, have three children and work as a civil servant down in London.
A friend took me to an Explore course a few years back. I’d had no real contact with the church before – but I found the course really engaging and answered a lot of the big questions in life that I’d never really got around to asking. I’m sure you will find it both thought provoking and helpful in equal measure!
