About NWS:

Northern Winter Study has been running since 1995 and is a mini Bible School where brethren, sisters and their families are invited to spend some time together in fellowship and Bible Study.

Most years there is a main speaker giving a series of addresses and in addition there are also a few other studies, plus walks, rambles, evening hymn singing at a cavern entrance and other activities for old and young alike, with a full children’s programme included.

As we believe the Bible is wholly inspired (2 Tim 3:15-17; 2 Peter 1:20,21) and therefore infallible (John 10:35; Ps 19:7), we accept that the creation record in Genesis 1-3 is the truth regarding the origins of life on earth and does not allow for any form of evolution. We accept the plain, inspired testimony of Moses, Paul and the Lord Jesus, amongst others, in support of this (Ex 20:8-11; Acts 17:24-26; Matt 19:4-6) and welcome anyone who also accepts this doctrine.
