What is Alpha?

The Alpha course is an opportunity for anyone to explore the Christian faith. It’s relaxed, non-threatening, low key, friendly and fun. On the daytime course there is coffee and cakes at the beginning of each session which gives you an opportunity to get to know each other. There is a meal together on the evening course.

Listen, learn, discuss and discover. Ask anything: no question is too simple or too hostile. And it’s supported by all the main Christian denominations.

What’s involved?

The Alpha course consists of a series of talks looking at topics such as “Who is Jesus?” and “Why and how do I pray?”. After each talk we divide into small groups for a time of discussion.

Who is Alpha for?

Alpha is for everyone, especially:
• those wanting to investigate Christianity
• new Christians
• newcomers to the church
• those who want to brush up on the basics

What will it cost?

There is no charge for the Alpha course, although you may be asked to make a contribution towards food.
