Questions, big or small

Ask our elders.

Some things are easier to ask a person than to search for. Ask yours here, in your own words, and one of our elders will write back to you.

Ask a questionI’d rather talk to someone

Before you ask

Any question is a good question.

You don’t need the right words, and you don’t need to be sure what you believe. Whether you’re curious, doubting, new, or carrying something heavy, you can ask.

People often ask us things like

  • Is this church for someone like me?
  • I’m not sure I believe. Can I still come?
  • What do you actually believe about Jesus?
  • Could someone pray for me?
  • I’m finding things hard and I don’t know who to talk to.
  • What would it be like for my children or teenagers?
