Who are we?

An assortment of Christians from the Charnwood Forest area of Leicestershire, England. We are from a number of different church types ("Denominations") though some have no particular Church affiliation. Some have been Christians for many years while others have just started to explore the teachings of Christ. Our meetings, which are informal, include prayer and study of the Bible with discussions about our faith and how it informs our daily lives.

We have no written constitution and no explicit geographical limits!



There will be a Pancake Party to help celebrate the 20th anniversary of Christians in the Forest on 4th March at the Baptist Church in Woodhouse Eaves - 6.30pm start.



Our Lent course will be Who is the Christ by Anne Calver. An exploration of six different aspects of Christ's character, who He really is and the eternal impact He left on the world. Dates and venues below
