Courses Offered:
Alpha course
Are you looking for greater meaning and purpose in life? Do you wonder who God is, what the Christian faith is all about, or why Jesus continues to inspire so many people today? Then the Alpha Course is for you.
Alpha gives you the opportunity to explore the meaning of life together with others. It is a place where you are always welcome, where you can be yourself, ask any question, and express your doubts. There is no pressure, no judgment, and no question is too big or too small.
Perhaps you have recently become a Christian or have recently been baptized, but you're unsure what your next steps should be. If so, the Alpha Course is an excellent place to start.
Throughout the course, you will explore the core themes of the Christian faith. Each session includes an inspiring presentation followed by an open discussion, where everyone is encouraged to share their thoughts, experiences, and questions. No prior knowledge of the Bible is required, and you are welcome regardless of your background or beliefs.
At Bible in Practice Foundation, we believe that faith is not only something to read about, but above all something to discover and experience. That is why we offer the Alpha Course in a relaxed, safe, and personal environment.
Whether you are curious, want to rediscover the Christian faith, or would like to explore life's big questions together with others, you are warmly welcome.

Freedom in Christ
The Freedom in Christ course helps you discover who you are in Christ and how to live from that identity. Whether you have recently become a Christian or have been walking with God for many years, this course offers biblical insights that deepen your faith and help you apply it in practical ways to everyday life.
Throughout the course, you will learn how to renew your mind through God's truth. You will gain a deeper understanding of the spiritual battle every Christian faces and discover how to live in the victory of Jesus Christ. You will also learn how to exercise your spiritual authority, recognize lies and replace them with God's truth, and break through strongholds or obstacles that hinder your spiritual growth.
Freedom in Christ is a practical and biblically faithful course that helps you grow step by step in faith, freedom, and your personal relationship with God. The goal is not only to gain knowledge, but also to learn how to apply it, so that you can live each day in the freedom that Christ has won for you.
The Steps Day:
The Steps Day is a special day during which, in a safe and confidential environment, you will personally go through the Steps to Freedom in Christ. These biblical steps help you remove obstacles that may hinder a healthy relationship with God.
During this day, you will take time to give God the opportunity to work in your life. Topics include forgiveness, dealing with guilt and shame, breaking unhealthy patterns of thinking, and consciously choosing to live from your identity in Christ. You will receive guidance throughout the day, while remaining free to decide what you do or do not wish to share.
The Steps Day is not therapy or a group discussion, but a personal encounter with God based on biblical principles and supported by prayer. Many participants experience greater peace, freedom, confidence, and a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ after completing the Steps.
To participate in the Steps Day, it is important that you have first completed the Freedom in Christ course or are already familiar with the biblical principles covered in the course.

You will learn how to develop a lasting, personal relationship with God and how His grace becomes the foundation of your thoughts, choices, and actions.
Throughout the course, you will discover that spiritual growth does not come through your own efforts, but through living in dependence on Jesus Christ. You will learn how to face challenges, temptations, and difficult circumstances through God's truth and grace. In addition, you will receive practical tools to deepen your faith, grow toward spiritual maturity, and remain steadfast in your walk with God.
Growing in Grace is a course that helps you become more like Christ, step by step. You will be encouraged to live from God's love, follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and bear fruit in your daily life. As a result, not only will your knowledge of God increase, but also your trust in Him and your desire to share His love with others.
