Watch a three minute video explaining Christianity. Grow in your everyday faith. Oxford Diocese offers a range of bitesize and Going Deeper courses on the Diocesan Learning Hub for those who want to explore faith further. In particular, the Story of Scripture, which explains how the bible fits together as a unified story, might be of interest. There are also longer Study Group courses which run on a termly basis and can be signed up for on a rolling cycle.
