Understanding and Sharing God's Word

Are you a Christian international student or a graduate? Are you wanting to grow in knowing what the Bible means and how to share what you learn with others? If so, the Philip Project is for you. 

The Philip Project is a training programme that aims to help Christian international students and graduates to both understand and share God’s Word. Additionally, it seeks to develop both the skills and character to enable others to grasp the Bible’s message – wherever the student goes.

It is best experienced as part of an in-person group across the academic year. See the centres which are offering courses at philipproject.org.uk 

If you are unable to join one of these courses, then we encourage you to sign up for one of our online courses.
